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)

PVC is one of the most used general plastic, it has one of the best ratios of economic cost to performance. Application for PVC ranges from applications in daily life all the way to specialized industrial applications. Some of PVC properties include:

– Good dimension stability
– Self-extinguishing
– Electrical insulation
– Corrosion resistance
– Light Weight
– Low Moisture Absorption

POM is a general purpose engineering plastics as it is easily machinable, it is also one of the preferred choices when comes to cost sensitive low frictional application. POM properties includes:

– High strength, stiffness, surface hardness
– Good dimension stability and toughness
– Resistance against fatigue, solvent, fuel, abrasion, wear and friction.
