Plastics
Versatility and high resistance
Gaskets and stamped parts made from engineering plastics offer an optimal combination of chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical strength, depending on the material. Materials used include PTFE, HDPE, PVC, and PP – selected according to the medium, temperature, and load requirements.
Applications
Plastic components are used in a wide range of industries, including mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, as well as the food and pharmaceutical sectors. They are ideal for applications in pipelines, valves, pumps, or containers where high chemical resistance and low friction are required. Many engineering plastics also serve as excellent electrical insulators, making them perfect for electronic applications. Thanks to the specific properties of different plastics, they are highly versatile and provide reliable, long-lasting sealing even under extreme conditions.
