MATERIALS
The right part starts with the right polymer.
Choosing a resin balances strength, temperature, chemical resistance, appearance and cost. If you're unsure, we'll choose together at the DFM stage.
01 / 02 MATERIAL CHART
Thermoplastics we process
| Material | Typical applications | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PP polypropylene | Packaging, closures, living hinges and appliance parts | Chemically resistant, light and economical |
| PE HDPE / LDPE | Caps, containers and low-load parts | Tough and flexible |
| ABS | Housings, enclosures and cosmetic parts | Good surface finish and dimensional stability |
| PC polycarbonate | Lighting covers, guards and electrical components | Transparent with high impact strength |
| PA6 | Gears, clips and cable fixings | Wear-resistant engineering plastic |
| PA66 (+GF 15–50%) | With glass fibre it replaces metal in brackets and electrical housings | High temperature and strength GF |
| POM acetal | Gears, bushings and snap mechanisms | Low friction and tight dimensional control |
| PBT | Connectors, fuse and switch housings | Electrical insulation and thermal stability |
| TPE / TPU | Seals, soft-touch grips and overmolded second shots | Rubber-like flexibility |
| PMMA acrylic | Light guides, lenses and display windows | Optical clarity and UV resistance |
Badges: GF glass fibre
