Polypenco has a solution to all engineering plastics applications, even ones of an elephant nature.
The extent to which Polypenco's broad portfolio of advanced engineering plastics can find solutions to applications was revealed when its Ertalon 6PLA was instrumental in treating an elephant bull's abscess and ultimately saving his tooth.
Polypenco, manufacturer and trade-name holder of international brands, integrates its products under a unified set of tradenames (Ertalon, Nylatron, Ertacetal and Ertalyte) regionally and globally. In the interests of global quality standards and competitiveness, substitutes should not be accepted.
The specific properties of Ertalon make it specially suitable for the manufacture of mechanical precision parts which have to sustain high loads and wear. Other properties include: high mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness; high creep resistance; excellent dimensional stability; low and constant coefficient of friction; and physiological inertness.
