Plastic Materials
Plastic materials knowledge and experience.
Selecting the right type of polymer material is crucial to the performance and longevity of your part. With our expertise in all things plastic, we consider a range of factors when recommending the raw materials best suited for your application.
There are hundreds of types of plastics with hundreds of applications.
As plastic material experts, we find the right solution for your part based on factors such as design, impact resistance, wear resistance, and viscoelasticity, as well as production and cost objectives.
We can also incorporate custom resins, additive packages, and custom color matches to ensure that your plastic parts and components deliver the desired solution and achieve optimum results.
Beyond our own expertise, we work with an extensive network of reliable suppliers that can also help to define the best plastic for the job.
