Some of the primary benefits of engineered thermoplastics when compared to metal include:
Excellent strength to weight ratios approaching even no-ferrous metals

During the extrusion process, Cesa™ Process Additives coat the inner surface of the die, reducing the friction between the melt and the metal and allowing polymers to extrude more easily.
Reduces the friction between the melt and the metal in the die

They are frequently used to replace metal for applications in which light weighting, improved impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength are required.
Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight.
