Engineering Plastics - Nylon's, Acetal & Delrin
Bay Plastics stock an extensive range of engineering plastic products, semi-finished plastic materials available in sheets, plates, rods and tubes. We offer a professional cutting service, rapid turnaround and cut to size option on all general engineering plastics.
As well as offering advantages over metallic materials, our general engineering plastics hold excellent mechanical and thermal properties over other more commonly used commodity plastics. Engineering plastics are easily workable compared to their metal counterparts.
Engineering plastics offer many advantages over metal as a production material:
-
Reduction in weight
-
Good wear properties
-
Superior corrosion and chemical resistance
-
Ease of processing
-
Electrical and thermal insulation
-
Cost saving
Selecting the correct engineering plastics for your application can be an intimidating proposition, and certainly the selection process will be crucial in determining the success or failure of the application. Therefore, consideration of the application conditions are crucial, i.e. chemicals, heat/temperature, speeds/loads, expansion/creep and insulations are just some examples.
Bay Plastics are here to ensure the right selection has been made. Our commitment to service and unrivalled product knowledge enables us to guide you in all aspects of material selection. Our web site contains comprehensive information on the general engineering plastics range that we stock, with the main characteristics and application examples for each type. All plastic material data sheets, plastics material safety sheets and application information are available for free in our download section. Alternatively, please call us now to discuss all of your plastic requirements on 0191 258 0777, our fully trained sales advisors are ready to help with your material selection.

ABS sheets can be processed with ease and versatility, available in a range of colour and texture finishes.

Oil filled nylon has been especially developed for unlubricated, high load & slowly moving applications.

Polycarbonate PC1000 has a 145 C heat resistant temperature and resists acidic and watery substances alike.

Polyester PET-P is an alternative to Delrin, as it absorbs less moisture, & holds it shape much more easily.

There are many variations of polyethylene that have been created to meet specific market requirements.

Polyurethane can replace rubber, plastic or metal to create the ultimate material in abrasion resistance.

PTFE has a combination of chemical, electrical and thermal performance unmatched by any other material.

The Tufnol Paper grades are selected for greater electrical stability in conditions of varying humidity.
