Industry Transport, Aeronautics, Railway, Automotive
In the railway industry, needs are focused on different points
Whether you are an aeronautics, railway or automotive manufacturer, PlastiService supports you on the rails, in the cockpit and in the assembly line.
In the aerospace industry, one of the main goals is weight reduction in order to reduce energy consumption (reducing transportation costs and carbon footprint) and increase speed.
Every extra gram has a negative impact when designing an airplane, helicopter or rocket.
Technical polymers have a lower density of around 20 to 70% compared to, for example, aluminium.
Additionally, engineering plastic parts are generally less expensive to manufacture, are more resistant to wear, and require less maintenance than other, heavier metal materials.
Safety standards
- Reducing total operating costs
- Increasing maintenance cycles (intervals between each maintenance intervention)
- Increased load-bearing capacity (on-board load capacity)
- Increasing the service life/duration of use of components which also involves protection against impacts, the reliability of materials and components, the exceptional wear and sliding properties of materials, the protection of components and electronic devices (ballast impacts, winter conditions, etc.).
Whether for the aeronautics industry or the railway industry, the requirements in terms of increased level of safety and fire/smoke protection. Our solutions include engineering plastics which meet for example standards such as FAR 25.853, ISO EN 45545-2 and/or UL94 V0.
With our strengths multiple locations and our storage capacity, we are able to offer you a rapid supply of semi-finished products (plates, bars, tubes in standard formats or cut to size) or finished parts in compliance with the approvals of your sector of activity.
Our advice: call on your PlastiService specialist from the design stage of your components to enable you to optimise their design with a view to integrating technical plastics vectors of multiple gains for your company.
