Mass Transportation
With increasing trends to provide lightweight, high performing and sustainable products to market, plastics are offering solutions to enhance efficiency and safety within the mass transportation industry. From rail to aviation, buses, marine and more, plastics play a crucial role in reducing overall weight and increasing fuel efficiency while extending the overall component lifespan. Advanced resins like PC, ABS, Nylon and PP are used in interior panels, seating, lighting, dashboards and structural components offering features such as impact resistance, flame retardancy, and design flexibility. Exterior applications benefit from weather-resistant and aerodynamic materials, while plastics in HVAC, electrical enclosures, and safety features ensure passenger comfort and compliance with industry regulations. As transportation evolves, plastics continue to drive performance across every mode of transit.
Aerospace
Plastics are essential to the aerospace industry due to their lightweighting capabilities, high strength, and heat resistance. Advanced resins like PEEK, PPS, PC and reinforced composites are used in aircraft interiors, structural components, insulation and fuel systems in order to help reduce weight, improve efficiencies and enhance overall aircraft performance. Plastics also offer corrosion resistance, impact strength and thermal stability which ensure components are reliable in extreme conditions.
Applications
- Cabin Panels
- Seating
- Windows
- Electrical Enclosures
- Fuel Systems
