Materials for aggressive environments: Polyphenylene sulfide wins in long-term test at Frankfurt’s wastewater treatment facility

The individual parts and devices used in mechanical engineering can be just as broad as the scope of the industry itself. Traditionally these components are made from metal, with steel and aluminum commonly used. Special applications require special solutions however, and high-precision plastic components frequently offer added benefits when metal is stretched to its limits.

Tailor-made...

In the highly demanding clinical environment, we know that surfaces can all too easily harbor dangerous microbes and cause infection. Ensuring that components used in the medical industry are clean and sterile is paramount to patient safety. Our solution: durable, antimicrobial plastic materials made to meet stringent industry requirements.

By adding antimicrobial additives in the production...
