Description

• Material Compatibility: Ensure the plastic material is compatible with cold temperatures. Some plastics become brittle and can break in cold environments. Polypropylene, nylon, and certain engineered plastics are more suited for low temperatures.
• Insulation Properties: Plastic hinges can have better insulation properties compared to metal hinges, which can help in maintaining the cold room’s internal temperature.
• Corrosion Resistance: Plastic hinges are naturally resistant to corrosion, which is beneficial in cold and humid environments.
• Load Bearing Capacity: Ensure the plastic hinges can support the weight of the cold room door. Cold room doors can be heavy, and not all plastic hinges are designed to handle such loads.
• Compliance and Standards: Make sure the hinges comply with relevant health and safety standards, especially if the cold room is used for food storage.
• Installation and Maintenance: Plastic hinges can be easier to install and maintain due to their lightweight nature and resistance to rust and corrosion.
