Engineering polymers, also known as engineering plastics, are a type of plastic material that is designed to have superior mechanical and thermal properties compared to traditional plastics. They are used in a wide range of applications, from automotive and aerospace components to medical devices and consumer electronics. Engineering polymers are typically more expensive than traditional plastics, but they offer superior performance and durability. Engineering polymers are typically divided into two categories: thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics are materials that can be repeatedly softened and hardened by heating and cooling, while thermosets are materials that become permanently hardened after being heated once. Both types of engineering polymers are used in a variety of applications, from automotive and aerospace components to medical devices and consumer electronics. Some of the major companies in the engineering polymer market include BASF, DowDuPont, Solvay, SABIC, and Evonik. These companies produce a wide range of engineering polymers, including polyamides, polycarbonates, polyesters, polyolefins, and polyurethanes. Show Less Read more
