ABS materials
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) offers superior processibility, appearance, low creep, excellent dimensional stability, and high impact strength.
HDPE materials
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is an odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic polymer that makes it suitable for food contact applications. HDPE has greater tensile strength, heat distortion temperature, viscosity, and chemical resistance than LDPE, but has a lower impact strength.
LDPE materials
LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) is an odourless, tasteless and nontoxic polymer that makes it suitable for food contact applications. LDPE has higher impact strength than HDPE, but lower tensile strength, viscosity, and chemical resistance.
PA6 materials
Polyamide 6, Nylon 6, or polycaprolactam (PA6) is one of the major engineering thermoplastics. PA6 is tough, has excellent abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance, fatigue endurance, lubricity, impact strength, high strength, and rigidity.
PA12 materials
Polyamide 12 or Nylon 12 (PA12) is an effective electrical insulator and its properties are not as sensitive to humidity as other polyamides. PA12 has good resistance to shock and many chemicals, and is extensively modified with plasticizers and reinforcements. In comparison to PA6 and PA66, PA12 materials have a lower melting point, lower density, and much lower moisture regain. PA12 is not resistant to strong oxidizing acids.
PA66 materials
Poly (hexamethylene adipamide), Polyamide 66, or Nylon 66 (PA66) is an engineering-grade thermoplastic. PA66 has higher strength but lower impact resistance than PA6.
PBT materials
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) has high strength and rigidity for a wide range of applications. PBT is one of the toughest engineering thermoplastics.
PC materials
Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous engineering material with exceptionally good impact strength, heat resistance, clarity, sterilizability, flame retardancy, and stain resistance.
PC+ABS materials
Polycarbonate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blend (PC+ABS) combines the properties of PC and ABS, that is, the high processibility of ABS with the excellent mechanical properties and the impact and heat resistance of PC. The ratio of the two components affects the heat resistance. The blend exhibits excellent flow characteristics.
PC+PBT materials
Polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate blends (PC+PBT) combine the properties of PC and PBT, including the high toughness and dimensional stability of PC, and the lubricity and good chemical and heat resistance of crystalline PBT.
PEI materials
Polyetherimide (PEI) is an amorphous thermoplastic with a high temperature resistance, strength, and stiffness.
PET materials
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has excellent chemical resistance and barrier properties, good strength, rigidity, fatigue endurance, and abrasion resistance.
PETG materials
Glycol-modified PET and copolyesters (PETG) offer a desirable combination of properties such as clarity, toughness, and stiffness.
PMMA materials
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has excellent chemical and weather resistance.
POM materials
Polyacetal or polyoxymethylene (POM) has a low coefficient of friction, good dimensional stability, and high temperature resistance.
PP materials
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely-used, translucent, semicrystalline, thermoplastic polymer with excellent chemical resistance to a range of chemicals.
PPE materials
Polyphenylene ether blends (PPE or PPO) are engineering thermoplastics that exhibit resistance to high temperatures. Because of the high glass transition temperature, which is about 210°C, PPEs are often blended with other polymers to increase processability.
PS materials
Polystyrene (PS) is an inexpensive and hard polymer that is used extensively.
PVC materials
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used polymer. The range of additives used with this polymer can alter its physical properties to create a tough rigid polymer used for water pipes through to a pliable material used for fabric applications.
SAN materials
Styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) has good rigidity, strength, and toughness, and better chemical resistance than polystyrene.
