Sports Equipment
Materials engineered for movement, impact and endurance.
Politem develops compounds for sporting goods and equipment requiring lightweight strength, toughness, wear resistance and reliable performance in repeated use.
Performance Designed Into Every Movement
Sports equipment components experience repeated impact, cyclic loading, abrasion, outdoor exposure and demanding user interaction. Material selection must balance weight, strength, flexibility, surface quality and processability for the specific product and use environment.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
|
• Protective-equipment shells and components |
• Bicycle and scooter components |
|
• Bindings, buckles and adjustment systems |
• Fitness-equipment housings and mechanisms |
|
• Racket and sporting-accessory components |
• Water-sport and recreational equipment parts |
|
• Outdoor-equipment clips and fasteners |
• Wheels, rollers and caster components |
|
• Handles and load-bearing grips |
Material and Technology Portfolio
Material families can be reinforced, impact modified, UV stabilised, heat stabilised or tailored for low friction and wear according to the application.
|
Material Platform |
Relevant Technologies |
|---|---|
|
PA6 and PA66 |
Reinforced strength, impact modification, fatigue performance, heat stabilisation and wear resistance |
|
PP |
Lightweight construction, impact modification, reinforcement, colour options and recycled-content solutions |
|
PBT |
Dimensional stability, thermal performance and reinforced grades for precision components |
|
ABS and PC ABS |
Impact performance, appearance and dimensional control for shells and housings |
|
POM |
Low friction, wear resistance and dimensional consistency for moving and adjustment mechanisms |
|
ASA |
UV and weather resistance for outdoor components |
Performance Priorities
Targets depend on load direction, impact level, repeated-use cycle, outdoor exposure, user contact and product geometry.
|
• Lightweight strength and stiffness |
• Impact resistance and toughness |
|
• Fatigue and repeated-load performance |
• Wear and abrasion resistance |
|
• Low friction for moving parts |
• UV and weather resistance |
|
• Dimensional stability |
• Surface quality and colour consistency |
|
• Chemical and perspiration resistance |
• Recycled-content options |
Application Driven Development
Material development starts with the product geometry, load case, impact scenario, expected use cycle and production process. Reinforcement, toughness, stabilisation, colour and surface requirements are balanced for the target component.
Testing may include tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, thermal, dimensional, colour, UV or weathering and application-specific durability evaluation. Product-level safety and sporting-goods standards are reviewed project by project; material testing does not by itself constitute final-product certification.
