Power tools
Leading the way in power tools
Today’s consumers are more demanding of the products they buy – for indoor and outdoor use. They want goods that perform well, look good, last longer, and use as little energy as possible – both in their product and their day-to-day use.
Our portfolio of engineering plastics are developed with the knowledge that technology and innovation go hand-in-hand. They’re used across various power tool applications.
Featured customer applications
Powertool Housings
Akulon® PA6 allows for light weight and cost effective solutions compared to metals, also as a result of possible part and function integration, easier assembly and longer tool lives; Akulon® PA6 allows for reliable solutions due to its better welding strength and surface appearance than PA66
A scientific approach to building solutions
Our dedicated teams work closely with customers to look at the entire process of developing new parts and components – whether it is a case of metal replacement, or developing solutions that are stronger, safer and more effective.
Our methodical approach extends to every step of the process, from design and material performance to production and compliance.
-
Performance
To ensure safety and part integrity, our high-performance plastics need to meet all of the relevant requirements for each application.
-
Production
Improving on a part includes improving how it is produced. Whether we are helping you improve the production process itself, or reducing and eliminating secondary operations, we support you through the entire process.
-
Compliance
Getting a part ready for commercialization includes ensuring compliance with the relevant regulations.
