Plastics have long provided reliable solutions in the oil and gas industry. In recent years, high-performance materials (HPM – High Performance Materials) have been increasingly applied in renewable energy production, particularly in wind and solar power systems. These materials retain all the advantages of conventional plastics while offering superior resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, making them ideal substitutes for steel, aluminum, and ceramics.
Boron-filled materials are especially preferred in areas exposed to nuclear activity. Thanks to their light weight, excellent insulation properties, and corrosion resistance, plastics ensure reliable performance in energy and electrical systems.
Advantages:
- High efficiency and long service life
- Reduced maintenance time with self-lubricating materials
- Extended durability with chemically resistant materials
- Cost savings with wear-resistant components
- Quiet operation with non-stick, low-friction surfaces
- Easy machining due to high dimensional stability
- Optimal cost-performance balance across a wide range of materials
Applications:
- Transformer and insulation components
- Battery housings and supports
- Cable clamps, ducts, and electrical enclosures
- Bearings and moving parts in renewable energy systems
