Capabilities
in Custom Thermoplastic Products:
|
| MATERIAL | Description | |
| ACETAL | Strong, rigid material with low wear and low friction. Resistant to a wide range of chemicals. | |
| ABS | Excellent electrical properties and heat resistance; very low moisture absorption. | |
| EPOXY | Exceptional mechanical strength, electrical properties and adhesion to most materials. | |
| NYLON | A workhorse thermoplastic, for high heat, low moisture absorption, and high impact strength. | |
| OLEFINS (Polypropylene and Polyethylene) | Cost effective and easily processed. Favored food and medical industries. | |
| PHENOLIC | Lower cost material with good balance of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Color limited to black or brown. | |
| POLYCARBONATE | Amorphous in nature, polycarbonate is extremely tough and dimensionally stable. Impact strength makes it useful in portable pumps; transparent. | |
| POLYESTER-VINYL ESTER (Fiberglass) | Excellent balance of properties, unlimited to colors, transparent or opaque. Used widely with glass reinforcements. | |
| POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC) | An extremely cost effective thermoplastic with good corrosion resistance. | |
| POLYURETHANE | Can be flexible or rigid, outstanding toughness and resistance to abrasion and impact. | |
| OTHERS | Many other resins and composites possible. Please call with your custom needs. | |

Reference
Guide to Custom Components Generally thermoset plastics (fiberglass) have better dimensional stability, heat resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties than thermoplastics. Fillers and glass reinforcements can improve strength, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. |
