Polymer price data for functional parts

Functional parts such as gears, plain bearings, and closures perform moving, precision tasks – engineering thermoplastics with high dimensional stability and low wear are used for this, and their prices shape unit costs.

pricenxt in the functional parts sector

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.

Why polymer prices matter for functional parts:

Functional parts use engineering thermoplastics such as POM and the polyamides; movements in their prices feed straight into the production costs of precision series components.

  • Engineering thermoplastics in focus: POM, PA and PBT determine a large share of the material costs of functional parts.

  • High series volumes: with precision parts in large quantities, even a small price difference decides the total cost.

  • Material choice with cost consequences: alternatives such as POM, PA 6 or PA 6.6 develop differently in price.
