Basic Knowledge of Plastic Alloys

2026-01-22

Plastic alloys are high-performance, functional, or specialized materials created through the physical blending or chemical grafting of different polymers. These compounds enhance or modify the properties of base resins and can reduce costs, making them indispensable in automotive, electronics, precision instruments, and construction. They represent one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing sectors within the plastics industry.

While general-purpose alloys based on PVC, PE, PP, and PS remain widely used, the focus in advanced markets has shifted towards higher-value engineering plastic alloys. These typically involve blends where key engineering resins like PC (Polycarbonate), PBT, PA (Nylon), POM (Acetal), PPO/PPE, and PTFE form the primary matrix, including modifications of ABS. Accelerating the development and application of these sophisticated materials is crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the global plastics sector.
