Only High Quality Materials
 

ABS
ABS is a good general purpose thermoplastic. It has good impact strength, a low CLTE, and it is easy to bond other materials to ABS. A UV resistant cap can be coextruded onto ABS for outdoor applications.

HDPE
HDPE has very good impact strength and stress crack resistance. It is also resistant to many chemicals. HDPE has a high CLTE and this must be taken into account in the design stage. HDPE is difficult to bond to. UV additives can be added to the resin to make HDPE suitable for outdoor use.

TPO
TPO is a highly engineered material that offers very high impact strength with a relatively low CLTE. TPO is quickly becoming the go-to material for many automotive, agricultural, and industrial applications.

PETG
PETG is usually clear and has high stiffness and good impact resistance. It is typically used to produce displays and signs.

PVC/Acrylic
PVC/Acrylic is a fire resistant material that is used in applications such as aircraft interiors and electronic enclosures. PVC/Acrylic meets UL94-V0 and many other regulations regarding burn.

Polystyrene
Polystyrene is a relatively inexpensive material that is used in appliance liners, signage, and other low impact applications. Polystyrene can be capped with a UV resistant material for outdoor use.

Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate has tremendous high impact strength, even at low temperatures. The heat deflection temperature of polycarbonate is very high and the CLTE is relatively low. Polycarbonate is a good choice for demanding applications.
