Polycarbonates (PC) are amorphous thermoplastics that find application in a wide range of sectors due to their comprehensive property profile. The material is distinguished by high transparency and impact strength, combined with excellent heat deflection temperature and dimensional stability. Through specific modifications, stringent requirements for UV stability and low-temperature impact strength (down to -60°C) can be fulfilled. The chemical composition of polycarbonate results in a high-gloss, optically superior surface, making the thermoplastic available in a broad color palette. Bio-based materials further enhance this product group. Polycarbonate is also utilized in medical technology and the food industry. However, its primary applications are in fiber optics, the automotive sector, and for CDs and data storage media.

Polyamides (PA) are globally recognized as essential plastics and represent the most widely utilized technical thermoplastics. Their unique property profile allows this product group to be extensively modified with various fillers and reinforcing agents (e.g., glass fiber, glass beads, mineral, flame retardants, among others) to satisfy the stringent demands of diverse industrial sectors. Owing to their exceptional strength, toughness, and the availability of flame retardant systems free of red phosphorus and halogens, polyamides, especially Polyamide 6 and Polyamide 6.6, are extensively used in the automotive industry and electrical engineering. Furthermore, these semi-crystalline materials are characterized by their requisite chemical resistance to organic solvents and mineral lubricants.

PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) is a crucial thermoplastic within the technical plastics sector, available in numerous modifications – for instance, as a blend with PC, ASA, or PET, or in reinforced or flame-retardant grades. The material is distinguished by its high mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. When excellent tracking resistance is required, pure PBT serves as an ideal candidate for such applications. This product group meets the most stringent flame retardancy requirements, even at low wall thicknesses. Consequently, the material is employed wherever high demands are placed on flame retardancy and thermal resistance. This includes housings for electrical engineering, connectors in vehicle manufacturing and engine compartments, as well as components for the lighting industry. Thanks to PBT's diverse product portfolio, the material also finds application in the medical sector and the household industry, for example, in various kitchen utensils.

POM (Polyoxymethylene, also known as Polyacetal) is one of the most frequently utilized semi-crystalline plastics. The material exhibits exceptionally high strength and outstanding dimensional stability. Due to its very high crystallinity, POM demonstrates the lowest wear among all thermoplastics at room temperature. This positions the material as a suitable candidate for applications in roller and gear systems, and wherever excellent sliding friction behavior is required without the addition of specialized additives. Applications in the connector and switch segment, as well as in the mechanical engineering industry, complete POM's comprehensive application portfolio.
