Our metal replacement flow moldings provide lighter weight, improved corrosion resistance, and intricate shapes. Embraced across automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors, they optimize performance and cut production costs. Positioned at the forefront of manufacturing, we prioritize cost-effectiveness, weight reduction, and design flexibility with our expertise.
Advantages of Metal Replacement Molding
Shifting from metal to plastic components can propel manufacturing and product performance forward in multiple ways:
- Numerous engineering thermoplastic polymers surpass aluminum and other metals in weight and strength, thus delivering manufacturing savings and enhanced functionality.
- Thermoplastic resins eliminate the need for finishing, welding, or machining operations typically associated with die-cast, stamped, or machined metal parts.
- Plastic parts can be molded in specific colors, negating the necessity of painting metal components.
- In many applications, sound and vibration-dampening properties are inherently superior to metals.
- Recyclability is a significant advantage when transitioning from metal to plastic.
Plastic part designs frequently demonstrate superior structural efficiency compared to their metal equivalents, enabling the optimization of features that would be unfeasible with traditional metal components.
Our range of engineering resin options ensures resilience without sacrificing structural integrity or essential properties, even in environments susceptible to corrosion or chemical exposure. This capability mitigates the risk of metal component failures over time, providing enhanced product reliability and longevity.
Materials Used in Metal Replacement Molding
Numerous resin options are materials used in metal replacement moldings. At Meridian Corporation, we offer a range of choices, from high-end engineering resins like PEEK, PPA, polyetherimide, and PPS to more common grades like long glass fiber polypropylene. These materials often replace short glass fiber nylons in automotive applications.
Our selection also includes nylon resins, available in various glass-filled or filler-injected forms, which are adequate substitutes for metal across diverse applications. With our extensive range of resin options, Meridian Corporation provides comprehensive solutions to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
