The Advantages of Plastic over Metal
As many industries become increasingly aware of the benefits of metal-to-plastic conversion, high-volume double injection molding is quickly becoming the method of choice for part manufacture.

Plastic parts offer several universal benefits over metal, including:
- Can have higher tensile strength vs. many types of metal
- Reduced part weight
- Reduced manufacturing costs
- Superior design flexibility
- Reduced waste
- Faster manufacturing times
- Easy adherence to various regulatory compliances
- Lower packaging and shipping costs
- Up to six times longer life
- Increased corrosion resistance
- Repeatable, predictable manufacture
Besides reducing weight and improving overall part strength and corrosion resistance, plastic-to-metal conversion also allows for the consolidation of multiple metal parts into a single plastic part. And aside from offering equal toughness and allowing for the same tight tolerances as metal, plastic parts require fewer secondary operations, thereby saving on time and costs.
