Zell-Metall Engineering Plastics
Extruded rod, extruded plate, extruded tubular bar, and extrusion of flexible tubes.
Zell-Metall
Ges.m.b.H. Engineering Plastics` core business is manufacturing engineering
plastic products (plastic extrusion) such as stock shapes made from various
formulations of Nylons (PA 6), Acetals (POM), PET, PEEK and HPM´s. We earn your business by providing you with exceptional high levels of quality, performance and production standards. Together with our strong creative drive for innovation, research and development our exceptional service, ZELLAMID® rod, plate, tubular bar and flexible tubes offer the better alternative in respect of the future.
Ever since the introduction of plastics, man has continuously identified more and more applications where plastics might substitute for previously existing materials, such as wood, metals and glass. Plastics offer the advantages of easy machinability, handling and fabrication. Due to the low specific gravity of most plastics the cost per part are often lower than the cost of parts made of traditional materials.
Some plastics are highly resistant to many chemicals, electrolytic conversion and certainly rust.
ZELLAMID® is one internationally recognized trademark representing part
of the production of the Klepsch-Group, with it's more than 50 years experience
in manufacturing engineering plastics. We are committed to ongoing research
and development in new technology. Accurate quality control and a cost efficient
production of more than 50,000 tonnes per year ensures a leading place for
the Klepsch-Group in world's market.PA 6 extruded is a tough material with high resistance to abrasion and impact. PA 6 is commonly used as a substitution material for bronze, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, as it has significant weight advantages. ZELLAMID® 202 has a specific gravity of 1,15 g/cm³ and bronze has 8,8 g/cm³ making the comparative volume price very attractive. Using PA 6 also reduces lubrication requirements and is non-abrasive to mating surfaces. It features good mechanical properties. Nylons can absorb up to 8% water (by weight) under humidity or submerged in water. This increases the excellent shock and vibration resistance but can also lead to dimensional changes. Mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties are accordingly influenced by moisture absorption. ZELLAMID® 202 is approved for contact with food (BfR, FDA). All these important characteristics add up to impressive cost/-performance ratios.
