PU (Polyurethane)

Polycarbonate plastic, often referred to by the abbreviation PC, is produced in standard stock shapes for machining parts and is extruded in plate (or sheet), and Solid Rods.

PC plastic is a thermoplastic characterised by its amorphous structure, offering excellent electrical properties alongside remarkable impact strength and moderate chemical resistance. Its high transparency is attributed to its low crystallinity and amorphous nature. Extruded polycarbonates, classified as machine grade, typically exhibit slight opacity unless subjected to mechanical or chemical polishing processes.

Extruded Polyamide / Nylon Plastic material, is available in standard stock shapes such as sheets, rods or tubes and can be machined to requirement. Extruded nylon can be of type PA 6, PA 12 or PA 66 and offers a balanced combination of performance and cost that provides end users with an optimal engineering plastic for standard applications or general purpose applications.

Depending on the type, the extruded polymer differs in properties because of differences in molecular structure.These differences notably impact the mechanical properties and moisture absorption characteristics of the nylon.

Nylon was the first engineering resin and is used in versatile applications ranging from electronic, marine, and automotive industries, to fibres for textiles. Extruded Nylon 6 / 66 has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties whilst also exhibiting very good temperature, chemical and impact properties. Additionally, this grade exhibits favourable electrical insulating ability and good chemical resistance. With a recommended working temperature of 85°C, it provides reliable performance in a wide range of applications.

HPM – PET is a widely utilised engineering plastic with relatively high density that shares its popularity with materials such as POM-C and MC-Nylon. The grade offered is semi-crystalline in nature and displays remarkable mechanical properties making it highly suitable for precision mechanical parts. PET exhibits high tensile strength, excellent mechanical strength, high hardness, excellent sliding behaviour (low wear) and good dimensional stability.

Additionally, PET's low coefficient of friction makes it ideal for applications that require exceptional wear resistance, such as wear pads, bearings, bushings, wheels, and guide rollers.

Moreover, PET is well-suited for food processing applications that demand high chemical resistance and low moisture absorption.Due to its mechanical and thermal properties, PET is extremely well suited for applications where complex parts and the stringent dimensional accuracy and surface quality is needed.
