Effective Material Selection for Plastic Components: As performance demands on plastic components continue to rise, so does the risk of premature failure. Choosing the right polymer is therefore critical - but in practice, many products still fail due to avoidable material-selection missteps. This talk will highlight the key factors that drive successful polymer selection, illustrate common pitfalls, and explain how different materials behave under real-world conditions – providing practical guidance to more informed, reliable, and application-appropriate material choices.
