Choosing the wrong engineering plastic can lead to part failure, costly redesigns, and frustrating production delays. You have two excellent options, Nylon (PA66) and POM (Delrin), but they are not interchangeable. A gear that wears out too fast or a clip that snaps under pressure can ruin a product’s reputation.
Choosing between Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) and silicone for your product’s seals, grips, or overmolded features can be a confusing process. Make the wrong choice, and you could be facing delaminated grips, failed seals, or a product that feels cheap, leading to costly redesigns and unhappy customers. Getting this fundamental material
