Polymer Replacement
• Current grade discontinued or temporarily unavailable • Manufacture in another global region • Material is under-performing • Looking to reduce cost, environmental impact, …
Factors driving polymer replacement:
What’s needed: • Ready access to data for materials of interest • Search, screening & comparison tools
Implications of incorrect materials choices: • Extended development cycles • Suboptimal / non-competitive solution • Increased maintenance costs • Product recall

Specialist Datasets - Polymers
What is it? CAMPUS (Computer Aided Material Preselection by Uniform Standards) is a widely-respected source of property data on plastic resins.
What is in it? Mechanical, rheological, thermal, electrical, processing and other properties for over 6,000 plastic resin grades from 20 major resin producers. All data is measured according to strict CAMPUS ISO standards (ISO 10350 and ISO 11403-1/2)
What is it used for? Comparison and selection of plastics grades from major producers.
Where does it come from? Manufacturers data compiled via the CAMPUS project through CFW G mbH.
CAMPUS Plastics
What is it? An immense resource of plastics datasheets from global polymer manufacturers and speciality compounders
What is in it? Physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, agency ratings and other properties for over 88,000 datasheets from 870 suppliers. Tested according to ASTM and ISO standards
What is it used for? Comparison and selection of plastics grades from global suppliers
Where does it come from? Manufacturers data collated by UL IDES

Case Study
Interior door trim
Current material: Unfilled ABS
1) Drop-in replacement
2) Comparable replacement (different polymer)
3) Optimal performance (product refresh / redesign)
Systematic Material Selection
Function: Interior door trim - aesthetics & protect underlying equipment
Constraints: • Temperature resistance (-20°C to +95°C) • Adequate toughness & damping • Durable to rain and salt water • 3D complex shape
Objectives: • Minimize mass • Minimize cost
Panel loaded in bending Stiffness-limited design Length, width specified Thickness free
Current material: ABS
