Lower your Manufacturing Costs with non-metallic parts

Non-metallic parts are generally a good choice for short-run jobs.

When it comes to fabricating parts for industrial use—especially in high-temperature environments—choosing the right material matters just as much as the design.

At Red Seal Electric Company, we specialize in high-temperature and insulating materials, and over the years, we’ve seen non-metallic fabrication emerge as a smart, cost-effective solution for both small and large-scale projects.

Here’s why more companies are making the switch:

Why Non-Metallic Materials Make Sense

Non-metallic materials (like certain plastics and composites) come with a host of built-in benefits that make them ideal for industrial use:


1. They don’t overheat.
   These materials are excellent insulators. Their low thermal conductivity helps manage heat, reducing the risk of overheating in electrical components. Similarly, their low electrical conductivity helps prevent short circuits and improves overall safety.

2. They don’t rust or corrode.
   Unlike metals, non-metallic materials don’t corrode or react with chemicals in harsh environments. This makes them ideal for industries like chemical processing, marine applications, and high-humidity environments.

3. They’re lightweight but strong.
   Many non-metallic materials weigh less than metal, which means easier handling, faster installation, and often, lower shipping costs. Despite being lighter, they don’t compromise on strength or longevity.

How That Saves You Money

These benefits aren’t just about performance. They also reduce costs. As manufacturing costs continue to rise, non-metallic fabrication is an opportunity for savings. Here’s how:

1. Lower material costs.
   Plastics and composites are generally more affordable than metals, especially when dealing with specialty alloys.

2. A longer lifespan.
   Because they resist corrosion, heat, and chemicals, non-metallic components often outlast metal ones.

3. More efficient manufacturing.
   Non-metallic parts can be fabricated more quickly, even when designs are complex. This reduces production time and labor costs, making it viable even for custom or short-run jobs.

PARTNER WITH RED SEAL ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR RELIABLE FABRICATION SOLUTIONS

If you’re currently using metal components and are looking for cost savings opportunities, think about this: 

• Are you dealing with frequent part replacements due to rust or corrosion?

• Do your components operate in high-heat, high-voltage, or chemically harsh environments?

• Would a lighter material improve your installation or shipping processes?

If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to look at non-metallic options.

At Red Seal Electric Company, we bring deep expertise in non-metallic fabrication—especially for high-temperature and insulating applications. We’ve helped clients across industries make the switch to non-metallic fabrication. If you need reliable parts for high-temperature use, we’re ready to help.
