Engineering plastics are better than ordinary plastics in thermal stability, mechanical properties and chemical resistance, and are widely used in automotive, electronic and electrical, aerospace and other fields. Ordinary plastics dominate the field of daily necessities and packaging materials because of their low cost. Both have their own advantages and work together to promote industrial development.

Since 2025, multiple countries have introduced a wave of trade restrictions, with the plastics industry bearing the brunt. Thailand announced a ban on plastic waste imports, Japan fully prohibited products containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the EU expanded its 16th round of sanctions against Russia to include primary aluminum imports, and the Philippines proposed a nickel ore export ban. These measures not only disrupt raw material supplies but also reshape the global plastics trade.

Here is the English translation of the provided text, maintaining the structure, terminology, and nuances: From the Industrial Revolution to the Rise of the Polymer Industry Since DuPont invented nylon and coined the term "NYLON," launched the ZYTEL brand in 1954, and up to the present day, the modified applications of nylon and high-temperature nylon (HTN) in sectors like automotive, electronics, consumer goods, military, and aerospace have spanned over 70 years. However, the foundational equipment for modifying engineering plastics is certainly not something a 300,000 RMB extruder can handle.

This article systematically decodes nine key performance indicators of engineering plastics, covering basic properties, mechanical strength, surface and electrical characteristics, temperature/weather resistance, chemical stability, and cost economics. By comparing the performance differences and application scenarios of various plastic materials, it reveals the scientific principles and trade-off wisdom in material selection. The text emphasizes that in this era where materials define products, a deep understanding of plastic properties is fundamental for achieving product innovation and enhancing performance and value. It also looks forward to development trends toward high performance, functionality, and environmental sustainability.

SABIC ULTEM™ 1000-1000MC is a medical-grade polyetherimide (PEI) specialty engineering plastic designed to meet the demanding requirements of medical devices and high-end manufacturing. It offers high strength, high rigidity, and good ductility, with a tensile strength of 105 MPa. The material operates continuously at 170°C and withstands hundreds of cycles of autoclave, EtO, and gamma sterilization. It complies with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI biocompatibility standards, and features excellent chemical resistance, low smoke emission, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. With medical-compliant (MC) lot control and full traceability, ULTEM 1000-1000MC is the benchmark choice for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, drug delivery devices, and more.

CYCOLOY™ CX7240 is a high-performance, non-halogen flame retardant PC/ABS alloy from SABIC. It combines PC’s heat resistance and impact strength with ABS’s excellent flowability, achieving UL 94 V-0 rating down to 0.75 mm thin wall while complying with RoHS and REACH. With a density of 1.19–1.20 g/cm³, MFR of 15–18 g/10min, tensile modulus of 2600 MPa, and water absorption of only 0.20%, it delivers balanced rigidity, toughness, and dimensional stability. Ideal for thin-wall precision parts in electronics & electrical housings, rail transit, medical devices, and smart appliances. Its halogen-free system produces low smoke and low corrosive gases, solving key challenges such as thin-wall flame retardancy failure, halogen compliance risk, and narrow processing windows. CX7240 is a reliable enabler for lightweight, high-safety designs.
