Plastic Characteristics

Because of its excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, it is ideally suited for self-supporting constructions where high temperatures are a concern.

Excellent corrosion resistance, very good dielectric properties, low moisture absorption, high rigidity, good abrasion resistance and excellent weathering properties.

Chemical and corrosion resistance, no moisture absorption, high strength to weight ratio, and easy to fabricate, weld, machine, thermoform, ad vacuum form.

Tougher than corrugated fiberboard, lighter than solid extruded plastics, waterproof, weather resistant, and stain resistant.

A lightweight and easily cut material known for its strong yet lightweight properties and its smooth, stable surface.

This material is an extremely tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance.

Often used for orthotics and prosthetics, this material is a softer, more flexible, lighter weight than HDPE.

HIPS is a low-cost plastic typically used for graphic arts applications.

HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum. Known for its outstanding tensile strength and large strength-to-density ratio, this plastic has a high-impact resistance.

This plastic is a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures.

A transparent thermoplastic often used in a sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass.

Cast Acrylic provides superior optical clarity and mechanical strength while Extruded Acrylic provides greater consistent thicknesses and is less costly.

Both plastics have tremendous flexibility and are very easy to clean using the proper cleaning materials.
