Dear Valued Customer, For over two decades, Engineered Plastic Products Corporation has provided plastic machined parts to a variety of industries including medical equipment, telecommunications, instrumentation and others who demand the highest standards for what are often critical parts. We have received awards from many of our customers by exceeding their expectations. As part of this focus, we are pleased to provide your company with our Plastic Properties Handbook and Design Guide. As our customers move into increasing advanced methods of manufacturing, we continue to upgrade our technology. EPP accepts most forms of CAD files electronically through e-mail and through our website. We are able to rapidly process them using CAD/CAM software, manufacture the parts on our state-of-the-art equipment and then inspect them on our fully-automated video inspection system. The rapid through-put and short lead times allow us to supply quality parts at the lowest possible costs. For those who are considering our services, please allow us to examine your drawings and return competitive quotes. If you are already a customer, we look forward to continuing to develop our partnership. In either case, we will work hard to earn your business. If you have any questions or suggestions on how we might serve you better, please call me directly at (800) 535-2889. Best regards,

Alexander Curtiss President

HOW TO USE THE PLASTIC PROPERTIES GUIDE

This book was developed to provide an objective, informative guide to material selection and machining design considerations. No material is promoted over another. The goal is to select the proper material and combine it with the most appropriate and cost effective design.

PLASTIC MACHINING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND CHECKLIST

Review the following checklist and identify any issues, which could affect the function of your part in its application:

1. Thermosensitivity tolerance can change in

different temperature conditions

2. Sensitivity to humidity and water atmosphere

(hydroscopic) affects tolerance

3. Sensitivity to chemicals and oils 4. Notch sensitive-corners and square IDs 5. Tolerances 6. High loads 7. High impact 8. Fatigue loading or cycle loading Flexing Deflecting Compression 9. Temperature maximum/minimum extent of time 10. Electrical considerations

1.

Materials in the Properties guide are listed from lowest to highest values in sixteen physical characteristic categories. Select the categories which have the most affect on your application. Review the materials and make a list of possible material candidates. Refer to the design consideration checklist at right. Consider each item on the checklist and whether it is a factor in the application. Call our technical support to discuss options or ask additional questions.

2.

3.

4.

(example: insulating properties, etc)

11. Wear resistance or abrasion resistance 12. Dimensional shape retention

5.

(load cold flow temperature)

13. Regulatory requirements (example: FDA, UL, etc.) 14. Appearance (color, texture) 15. Optical requirements 16. Outdoor use

Plastic machined parts are designed differently than molded parts. EPP can help you determine which is best suited for your application. EPP understands the advantages and the limitations of each material and process, after checking the application against the checklist, fax your drawing or call technical support to answer any other remaining questions.
