Plastics for reliable utility and special vehicles
Utility and special vehicles need to be absolutely reliable even in the harshest of environments. If drivers are to be able to rely on their vehicles at all times, tough and resilient design materials are essential. Depending on the application, they may need to be highly wear resistant, weather resistant and very light. Our plastics are designed specially for these demanding conditions. They help designers across the world in the construction of reliable utility and special vehicles such as dumpers, trucks and snow compactors.
