Why consider plastics in lieu of metal? Plastic Piping System Flapper Valve - Case Study

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

Technological advancements such as automated material handling systems and RFID tracking in industrial and manufacturing supply chains, as well as increased food safety concerns, are driving a trend among distributors and warehouses to replace traditional wood pallets with more durable and sanitary plastic solutions. Plastic pallet manufacturers are challenged with providing high quality products that can improve unit load ratings and withstand repeated use.
