High Performance Plastics: Engineered for Extreme Performance

Materials Pyramid

How can we put our top-of-the-material-pyramid expertise to work for you?

At Allegheny Performance Plastics, high performance plastics drive every innovation we deliver. Our expertise in high temperature injection molded plastics enables us to deliver reliable parts and assemblies that maintain peak performance in extreme conditions.

Why Choose High Performance Plastics?

We know high-end polymers. And we know how to use them to help you save space, reduce weight, shorten lead times, solve problems, improve manufacturability, and add value to your bottom line.

Some of the benefits of these materials include:

  • Unmatched Thermal Performance High-temperature injection molded plastics maintain structural integrity and performance even at sustained high temperatures
  • Exceptional Mechanical Strength These materials are made to offer superior tensile strength and impact resistance
  • Outstanding Chemical Resistance Many of the plastics we work with resist chemical degradation
  • Lightweight and Space-Saving These high performance plastics reduce component weight without compromising durability
  • Precise Injection Molding Manufacturability These materials require high levels of expertise to injection mold, and the benefits of molding include tight tolerances, consistent quality and fast turnaround times
