One recent example: A leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of fuel pumps wanted to replace certain metal fuel-pump components with durable plastic parts that were resistant to gas fumes. To convert to plastic — and save money — the OEM needed optimal functionality and durability of the newly developed thermoplastic components, coupled with designs just right for efficient manufacturing.
Ferriot’s designers and engineers worked with the OEM to develop the proper thermoplastic olefin system. The new component, for the boot of a gas nozzle, has since proved its durability and consistent functionality in the field.
