Plastics used for internal production
Nylon/PA66 Sheet – Black & Natural
General-purpose engineering plastic for impact and high load environments. Applications include: high load bearings, conveyor rollers, wear pads and guide wheels.
HDPE Sheet
High-Density Polyethylene used in direct contact with food manufacturing. Does not absorb water and has excellent abrasive and impact resistance.
Polycarbonate Sheet – Clear
Known for its fantastic impact and shock load resistance. Easily fabricated and formed into shapes for screens and shields. Ideal replacement in conditions where glass breakage is expected.
PTFE Sheet
Resistant to practically every chemical available and has a surface grade on which nothing can adhere to. It can be enhanced with additional fillers to suit various particular mechanical applications.
Acetal/Delrin/POM
Great machinability due to its high mechanical properties. Precision gears and bearings with tight tolerances are perfect for this material. Regularly used in water tank manufacturing.
G10/FR4 Epoxy Glass Sheet
Also referred to as Bakelite or Phenolic. This is used in terminal boards, switchboards, and transformers.
EPDM
A durable elastomer derived from Polyethylene. Used in sealing applications for buildings, vehicles, and appliances.
Neoprene
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber used for insulation and load-bearing. Applications include load-bearing pads in building and concrete formations.
