PE (Polyethylene) – Polyethylene is a general thermoplastic with good chemical resistance and elongation properties. PE also have good insulation properties and is one of the material choice for plastic welding application. HDPE and UHMWPE are available for applications with more demanding material properties in terms of mechanical strength. Some of its properties includes:

– Good chemical resistance
– Easy to work on
– Low frictional coefficient
– Good electrical insulation
– High toughness and Stiffness (HDPE/UHMWPE)
– Low moisture absorption (UHMWPE)
– High impact strength (UHMWPE)

PP (Polypropylene) – Polypropylene is a plastic that is used in many different industries. One of the common usage for polypropylene is to make laboratory equipment that require frequent sterilisation by heat. Its high resistance against temperature makes it an ideal material for this kind of application. Other properties includes:

– Good mechanical strength
– Good corrosion resistance
– Heat resistance
– Good resistance to fatigue

PC (PolyCarbonate) – PolyCarbonate can be easily process, machined and thermoformed. Due to these properties, PC is extensively used in many different industries and application. Some of its properties includes:

– Excellent impact resistance
– Excellent Strength and toughness
– Good dimensional stability
– High transparency
– Good electrical insulation
– Good heat resistance
