Plastics engineering - Import export

With over 125 years of market experience, a network of specialised companies has evolved to serve the wide range of your customers’ requirements with the best possible quality. The focus of these long-standing cooperations is on making the most of available know-how while maintaining fair market prices. Besides bent wire and plastic components, a wide range of industries also require so-called hybrid parts. This combination of metal and plastic is found, for instance, in screw joints, connecting rods, seat elements for lumbar support, and medical engineering, among other areas. We work in close cooperation with specialised partners for plastics engineering. Our great efficiency in wire working technology and plastic injection enables us to create hybrid parts that satisfy the most stringent requirements.

Worm screws, gear wheels, slide rails and other technical mouldings are today made of engineering plastics such as POM (polyoxymethylene), PA (polyamide) or PE (polyethylene). These materials with different property profiles (negative high water absorption with PA, poorer wear behaviour with PE) are supplied as sheets or rods. The required moulded parts are then produced by mechanical processing (turning, milling etc.) in a more or less complex manner. Effective injection moulding is only worthwhile for large quantities together with small component sizes, otherwise the high tool costs cannot be amortized. secutexTechno is characterised by high hardness (70° Shore D) and rigidity over a wide temperature range. It retains its high toughness down to 30 °C, has a high abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of friction. The intrinsic colour is yellow, making it well suited for technical applications. Mechanical processing is simple and comparable with other hard plastics.
