Global Engineering Plastics Market: Overview

The plastics, which possess improved thermal or mechanical properties and are used in the manufacturing of commodity plastics such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, and PVC is known as engineering plastics. These materials exhibit special properties such as wear and fatigue resistance, higher impact strength, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and high abrasion. Engineering plastics are thermoplastic materials that are expensive and are specially designed for unique purpose applications. Conventional plastic processing machinery is used to process these materials. Engineering plastics such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is used in the production of LEGO bricks and dashboard trim while polycarbonates are used in motorcycle helmets and polyamides for the production of skis and ski boots.
