Advantages of Plastic Products

Easy for production and processing, easy for manufacturing (easy to mold)
 
Even if the product's three-dimensional geometric shape is very complex, as long as it can be demolded from the mold, it is relatively easy to produce. Therefore, its work efficiency far exceeds that of metal processing, especially injection molded products, which can produce very complex finished products through a series of processes.
 
Can be colored as desired or made into transparent products
 
With the characteristics of plastics being able to produce various transparent and beautiful products and being easily colored, the value of the product can be enhanced, giving a bright and fresh feeling.
 
Can be made into lightweight and high-strength products
 
Compared with metal and ceramic products, plastics are lightweight and have good mechanical properties, with a high specific strength (strength-to-density ratio), so they can be made into lightweight and high-strength products. Especially after filling with glass fibers, their strength can be further enhanced.
 
In addition, because plastics are lightweight, resources can be saved, so products are gradually becoming lighter.
 
Non-rusting, not easily corroded
 
Plastics are generally resistant to corrosion by various chemicals and do not rust or corrode as easily as metals. When used, there is no need to worry about erosion from acids, alkalis, salts, oils, chemicals, moisture, or mold.
 
Not easy to conduct heat, good thermal insulation performance
 
Because plastics have a high specific heat and low thermal conductivity, they do not easily conduct heat, thus providing excellent insulation and heat preservation.
 
Can be made into conductive parts as well as insulating products
 
Plastics themselves are excellent insulating materials, and nowadays, almost no electrical products are made without plastics. However, if metal powder or scraps are filled into plastics for molding, products with good conductivity can also be made.
 
Excellent shock absorption and sound insulation performance, good light transmittance
 
Plastics have excellent shock absorption and sound insulation properties; transparent plastics (such as PS, PC, etc.) can be used to produce transparent plastic products (such as lenses, signs, covers, etc.).
 
Low product production cost
 
Although plastic raw materials themselves are not that cheap, because plastics are easy to produce and process, and equipment costs are relatively low, product costs can be reduced.
