Utilizing non-metallic fabrication and its resulting products is beneficial to a variety of industries and businesses. If you’re not already familiar with this type of fabrication, keep reading to discover three interesting facts about non-metallic fabrication.

Produces Products We Use Everyday

You might not realize it, but we use products that result from non-metal fabrication every day. Non-metal fabrication creates products that range from transportation parts for cars and airplanes all the way down to rubber and electrical wires. Every time you plug a cable into an outlet, you have non-metallic fabrication to thank—the coating over the wiring comes directly from non-metal fabrication processes. And this is just one example. Non-metallic materials are all around us!

Sustainable Benefits

Another fact about non-metallic fabrication is that many of the resulting products are sustainable and eco-friendly. Non-metal fabrication produces many eco-friendly building materials, such as cork, recycled plastics, reclaimed wood, and more. Some non-metal fabricated products even come from plant-based materials such as rubber and foam. This is one of the main benefits of manufacturing with non-metals over metals.

Unique Properties

Products from non-metallic fabrication have some of the most unique properties, which is why we see them in everyday products everywhere we look. Non-metallic fabricated plastics and rubber don’t conduct electricity, they are resistant to heat and corrosion, and they can handle pressure. This makes them ideal for a lot of tasks that metals wouldn’t be suitable for.

These three interesting facts about non-metallic fabrication show us just how important non-metals are in manufacturing and our daily lives. We use products resulting from this type of fabrication every day, and the process is even beneficial to environmental protection and sustainability.
