For each material, send the grade, quantity and destination port. We reply with a written offer that names the manufacturer, grade and origin.

GPPS / HIPS polystyrene

General-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is clear and rigid; high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) contains rubber for toughness.

Typical uses
Disposable cups and trays, thermoformed packaging, refrigerator liners, display parts
Selected by
Melt flow index, impact strength (HIPS), clarity, food-contact status

EPS (expandable polystyrene)

Polystyrene beads containing a blowing agent, expanded with steam into blocks and moulded parts.

Typical uses
Insulation boards, protective packaging, fish boxes, moulded parts
Selected by
Bead size for the target density, standard or flame-retardant (including graphite grey), storage life

ABS

A tough, glossy styrenic for housings and parts that need impact strength and a good surface finish.

Typical uses
Appliance and electronics housings, automotive interior parts, toys, luggage, sheet
Selected by
Impact level, melt flow, heat resistance, gloss, flame-retardant rating

Polycarbonate (PC)

A clear, very impact-resistant engineering plastic that keeps its strength at higher temperatures.

Typical uses
Solid and multiwall sheet, lighting covers, automotive lamps, electronics housings, water carboys
Selected by
Melt flow, UV stabilisation, optical clarity, flame-retardant rating

Polyamide PA6 / PA66

Nylon engineering plastics with high strength and wear resistance, used unfilled or glass-filled.

Typical uses
Engineering compounds, automotive and electrical parts, cable ties, connectors, nylon yarn and film
Selected by
Viscosity, glass-fibre content, heat stabilisation, moisture-proof packing
Request a quote for this

POM (acetal)

A stiff, low-friction engineering plastic for precise moving parts.

Typical uses
Gears, clips, fasteners, zippers, precision mechanical parts
Selected by
Copolymer or homopolymer, melt flow, wear and friction grades
Request a quote for this

PMMA (acrylic)

A glass-clear, weather-resistant plastic for transparent and decorative parts.

Typical uses
Acrylic sheet, signage, lighting and light guides, automotive lenses, sanitaryware
Selected by
Melt flow, clarity, heat resistance, impact-modified or standard
Request a quote for this

PBT

A polyester engineering plastic with good electrical properties and dimensional stability.

Typical uses
Electrical connectors, automotive electrical parts, fibre-optic loose tubes, housings
Selected by
Viscosity, glass-fibre content, flame-retardant rating
