Product Selection Guide
A step-by-step framework for selecting the right plastic material.
Work through five filters in sequence to narrow the field from thousands of candidates to a shortlist worth testing.
Step 1
Define what the part does, how it is loaded, and its expected service life.
Step 2
Quantify mechanical, thermal, and electrical targets the material must meet.
Step 3
Screen for temperature extremes, chemicals, UV, moisture, and wear.
Step 4
Confirm compatibility with molding, extrusion, machining, or additive processes.
Step 5
Verify FDA, UL, FST, and industry-specific compliance before final selection.
