Plastics / Thermoplastics

Thermoplastics are thermally formable plastics with different properties and possible applications. We use them to manufacture punched parts, water jet cuts and moulded articles in a wide variety of materials.

Rigid and flexible PVC

• Highly water-repellent
• Available in a crystal-clear version and various colours
• Very good wear and abrasion resistance
• Good resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, greases and fuels

PA (polyamide)

• Good wear and abrasion resistance
• Very good mechanical strength and toughness
• Very good sliding properties
• Available as PA, PA6 and PA6.6 (glass fibre reinforced)
• Good resistance to oils, greases and fuels
• Not recommended for acids and alkalis

PC (polycarbonate)

• High strength
• Very good impact strength
• Easy to form
• Good weathering properties for outdoor use
• Good electrical insulating properties
• Resistant to oils and greases
• Not recommended for fuels, acids and alkalis

PE (polyethylene)

• Semi-crystalline plastic
• Very good chemical resistance
• Good wear resistance
• Good electrical insulation resistance
• Physiologically harmless
• Resistant to oils, greases, dilute acids and alkalis
• Not recommended for oxidising agents and hydrocarbons

PP (polypropylene)

• Semi-crystalline plastic
• Completely odourless
• Very easy to machine and very lightweight
• Good temperature resistance, but brittle and prone to breakage in the cold, not suitable for sub-zero temperatures
• Very good resistance to oils, greases, dilute acids and alkalis
• Not recommended for oxidising agents and hydrocarbons

Other plastics such as ABS and POM are also available.
