Why plastic is better than metal.
You may not know the science behind the benefits of plastic over metal, but we at Nicolet Plastics do. The benefits of plastic have everything to do with chemistry and the most basic building blocks of plastics, called monomers (groups of atoms that make a unit cell). These monomers are combined in limitless ways to form polymers - or plastics - that are unique to a specific design and product performance requirements.
The result? We utilize plastics that
- have unlimited characteristics that are tailored to meet your needs
- can be made into any desired shape
- are safe, durable and high-performing
- are lightweight, thus saving energy in the production process and reducing the costs of shipping
- cost less to produce
- can be manufactured faster
