Advantage
- Reduction in the
weight of the piece
- Design freedom
(colors and formulation)
- High functional
integration and complex shapes
- High strength and
rigidity, presenting a better strength-to-weight ratio than many metallic
materials
- Coefficient of
thermal expansion similar to that of metals
- Very high
resistance to corrosion
- Low tendency to
creep
- Maximum precision
in molding
+advantage
- Dimensional
stability. Reduced shrinkage, even zero.
- Class A surface
finish
- Possibility of
post-press painting
- Possibility of
direct painting on the mold
- High temperature
in service
- Fire resistance
and low smoke emission
- Electrical
insulation or conductivity
- Low investment
- Great value for
the price
