The plastics, which possess improved thermal or mechanical properties and are used in the manufacturing of commodity plastics such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, and PVC is known as engineering plastics. These materials exhibit special properties such as wear and fatigue resistance, higher impact strength, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and high abrasion. Engineering plastics are thermoplastic materials that are expensive and are specially designed for unique purpose applications. Conventional plastic processing machinery is used to process these materials. Engineering plastics such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is used in the production of LEGO bricks and dashboard trim while polycarbonates are used in motorcycle helmets and polyamides for the production of skis and ski boots.
The growth and development in the automotive industry are key factors that are driving the global engineering plastics market. Engineering plastics are replacing metal components in industrial machinery and automotive, owing to lightweight requirements. Engineering plastics possess similar properties of metals and is lightweight in nature. Increasing demand for electrical and electronic appliances worldwide anticipates boosting the market. Engineering plastics are very costly in nature; this factor may restrain the market growth. Engineering plastics are extensively used in the aerospace industry for spaceship building which may open up new growth opportunities in the global engineering plastics market.
