Standard Materials
|
 Polyethylene Plastic (PE) is one of the most
widely used plastic material and offers excellent chemical resistance, ease of manufacturing,
strength, toughness and durability. PE is suited for typical manufacturing environments as the
material remains stable at temperatures encountered in cold winters (below 0
oF) and hot summers (just over 120
oF). At temperatures exceeding 120
oF the material becomes rubbery, reducing its strength properties.
|
 Polypropylene
Plastic (PP) is in the same family of plastics as polyethylene and offers excellent
chemical resistance and ease of manufacturing that remain similar to that of PE. PP’s advantages
over PE include its greater stiffness and elevated temperature use. Depending on the application,
PP materials can retain their strength at temperatures up to 150
oF.
|
|
Polystyrene Plastic (PS) is known for its rigidity and stiffness. Comparatively,
PS is much stiffer than polyethylene and polypropylene, with lower mold shrinkage.
|
 Fiberglass
Reinforced Polyester products produced with this compression-molded, high strength
polyester provide dimensional stability, high weight capacity and the ability to withstand extreme
temperatures of -60
oF to 250
oF.
