With an increased focus on safety, sustainability and compliance, performance plastics materials are bringing innovation to the Bus & Rail industry.
When compared to glass, materials such as Polycarbonate and Impact Modified Acrylic can significantly lower system costs by consolidating parts to streamline production, avoiding secondary operations such as machining and polishing, reducing maintenance, downtime and replacement costs.
When replacing metal, materials such as Acetal, UHMW and Nylon offer superior abrasion and impact resistance with excellent strength and stiffness, reducing maintenance, downtime and replacement costs, while reducing weight and increasing vehicular efficiency.
With the industry's largest distribution network, in-house expertise, and a focus on service, Polymershapes will ensure you have the materials you need when and where you need it!
