2.Does the part need to withstand pressure or weight?
3.Will the parts need to withstand certain temperature variations?
4.Will the parts be exposed to other elements or chemicals?

Conventional materials cannot have two opposing properties at the same time. But for modified plastic products, the two are interdependent. For example, after using glass fiber reinforced plastic. At the same time as its rigidity increases, both tensile strength and impact strength may increase.

1.Is a specific finish required?
2.Does a color need to be matched?
3.Is embossing a consideration?

Due to the low surface energy of most plastics, many treatment methods are not directly applicable. The adhesion of plastics to various materials is a key issue to be solved in surface treatment. The plastic adhesive performance is related to the material structure and composition.

1.Will the product be exported and need to meet REACH standards?
2.Does the part need to be food safe?
3.Will children use the product?

Different plastic materials respond to different use scenarios. Some plastic products can only be used in specific environments.
