Cost Analysis: Heat Resistant Plastics vs. Alternatives

[[email protected]]

Extension springs are useful in household appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers because they help control the movement of doors and lids.

Other applications for extension springs include overhead garage doors, which act against the weight of the door, making it easier to lift the door manually or with an opening device.


When comparing the cost-effectiveness of forex dataset heat-resistant plastics to metals and ceramics, PEEK, PTFE and PPS are relatively expensive. Derivatives of these polymers can be much more expensive in terms of unit weight because the manufacturing processes are complex. However, in the automotive and aerospace industries, the lightweight nature of these plastics means they can save fuel and reduce operating costs.

Heat-resistant plastics have additional processing and durability advantages. Many plastic manufacturing processes are less time-consuming and energy-intensive than similar processes for metals. Metals typically require multiple machining and finishing steps, which are costly. In addition, heat-resistant plastics are heat tolerant and can resist deterioration in certain environments. This reduces the frequency and cost of maintaining and replacing metal parts.


Legal metrology involves measuring scales used in markets, the volume of fuel sold at the pump in gas stations and measurements made on packaged products. Thus, compliance with legal metrology rules helps prevent fraud in sales and purchases. It protects consumers from poor quality products and ensures equal conditions of competition between companies.


Dimensional metrology plays a vital role in the manufacturing and engineering industries. It evaluates and confirms that manufactured parts and subassemblies meet their design requirements. In quality control, it verifies that products conform to permitted quality variations. In construction, it verifies specific dimensions to ensure they fit properly.
