| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| PEEK | High-performance engineering thermoplastic with excellent strength, thermal & chemical resistance. Often used to replace metal parts. |
| Polystyrene (PS) | The lowest cost injection molding plastic. Food-safe grades are available but not suitable for mechanical applications. |
| ABS | Common thermoplastic with high impact resistance, low cost, and low density. However, it is vulnerable to solvents. |
| Nylon (PA 6/PA 66) | Engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties and high chemical & abrasion resistance. But it is susceptible to moisture. |
| PC/ABS | Blend of two thermoplastics, resulting in high impact strength, excellent thermal stability, and high stiffness. Yet, it is vulnerable to solvents. |
| TPU&TPE | Thermoplastic with high impact strength and good mechanical properties & hardness. Suitable for molding parts with thick walls. |
| Plastic | Description |
|---|---|
| Acrylic (PMMA) | UV resistant plastic with good abrasion resistance, stiffness and hardness. |
| Polypropylene (PP) | The most common Injection molding plastic. Excellent chemical resistance. Food-safe grades available. Not suitable for mechanical applications. |
| Polyethylene (PE) | Lightweight thermoplastic with good impact strength & weather resistance. Suitable for outdoor applications. |
| High density polyethylene (HDPE) | Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, impact and weather resistant. |
| POM (Acetal / Delrin) | Engineering thermoplastic with high strength, stiffness & moisture resistance and self-lubricating properties. Relatively prone to warping. |
| Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) | Light weight plastic with good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Generally used in building and construction applications. |
