Marine & Transportation

Plastic solutions resistant to salt water, sun and harsh environmental conditions.

In marine applications salt water is one of the most aggressive environments. Engineering plastics that replace metal parts because of corrosion offer a clear advantage in this sector.

Continuous sun exposure brings UV resistance to the fore, while water contact highlights hydrolytic stability. In transport vehicles, fire safety and interior material regulations become decisive.

Typical Application Parts

Deck and exterior hardware
Fasteners and fixings
Pump and valve components
Cable trunking and housings
Interior trim parts
Lighting bodies
