INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Alternative Energy
Colorado's clean-energy sector builds with plastics for the same reasons it exists: efficiency. Insulating, UV-stable, lightweight materials protect electronics, glaze collectors, and cut the weight of moving parts in solar, wind and energy-storage equipment. We supply them cut to size and fabricated to spec.
Common Alternative Energy Applications
- Films for solar collectors
- Solar array pivot bearings
- Thrust washers
- Electrical insulators
- Housings/shrouds
- Rotational bearings, bushings
- Equipment braces
- Storage tanks
- Pipe, valves, fittings
- Standoff heat insulators
- Tubing
Why Plastics Win
- Lightweight for more efficient operations
- Ease of fabrication
- Easy to install/replace
- Recyclable
- Corrosion and chemical resistant
- Abrasion resistant
- Impact and fatigue resistant
- Stiffness
- Excellent bearing and wear performance
- Low moisture absorption
- Weatherability
- Low creep
- Low warpage
- Solid color, eliminating painting
