- What is the substrate?
- What is the end-use service temperature?
- Will there be chemical exposure?
- Will the part come into contact with food?
- Are there any abrasion/durability concerns?
- What are the heat limitationsof the part?
- What are the part dimensions?
- What are the cost limitations?
