Plastics
Unique features such as lightweight, chemical resistance, electrical insulation and design flexibility.
What are the advantages of POM over other plastics?
POM offers excellent wear resistance and low friction, ideal for bearings and engineering components where precision and durability are important.
Can plastics such as ABS be used in enclosures for electronics?
Yes, ABS is impact resistant and easy to machine, making it perfect for electronics enclosures and prototypes.
Which plastics are suitable for high-temperature applications?
PEEK and PTFE are well suited to high temperatures, with resistance to above 250°C, ideal for aerospace and chemical processing applications.
Is CNC machining suitable for all plastics?
Not all plastics; for example, PTFE is difficult to machine because of its low hardness and high flexibility. Our experts can advise you on the best choice of material for your application.
Can you supply plastics suitable for food applications?
Yes, we have plastics such as POM and PTFE that are FDA-approved for use in food processing and packaging.
