- PVCu (Rigid PVC)
Rigid PVC can be supplied in a variety of
colours and impact strengths. We also process flame retardant PVCu where this
is required to meet regulations. Unplasticised PVC is one of
the stiffest polymers at normal ambient temperature and shows little
deterioration after many years in service. Can be compounded
to make UV stabilised. Used widely throughout all types of
industries.
- PVCu 100% Rechip
Reprocessed material can be extruded again to produce profiles
where an excellent finish is not necessary (i.e.) throw away items
or non-seen profiles.
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Sytrene)
This is a rigid material with high impact and chemical resistance, ABS
is even tough at temperatures as low as -40ºC. It has a high
resistance to temperature fluctuations but has poor weathering
resistance. ABS has relatively good electrical insulating properties
and profiles are suitable for secondary insulation applications.
- HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
An alternative low density, but rigid, clear material for indoor
applications.
-
PE (Polyethylene) low & high density derivatives
This material is a semi rigid, very tough, low cost material
available in low and high density derivatives. It is translucent
but can be coloured by adding a masterbatch.
-
PP (Polypropylene) co-polymer & homo-polymer derivatives
The properties of this material are very similar to that of PE. It
is a semi rigid material that does not present stress-cracking
problems and has good impact resistance. It has a slightly higher
rigidity and hardness than PE and available in co-polymer and
homo-polymer derivatives.
- PPE/PPO
Engineering grade materials chosen for good resistance to heat
deformation often containing halogen-free flame retardants and
exhibiting good impact resistance.
- WPC (Wood/plastic composite)
A relatively new breakthrough in material. This gives a
wood effect to the profile whilst still being a plastic. Can
be used in any industry where a wood like effect is desired.
- PC (Polycarbonate)
Known principally for outstanding impact resistance this engineering
thermoplastic also exhibits with temperature resistance and high
dielectric properties. Usually transparent appearance.
- PETg (Polyethylene Terephthalate
Co-polymer)
Very clear, tough and creep resistant engineering thermoplastic with
a wide operating temperature.
- SBC (Styrene-Butadiene Co-polymer)
Clearer than PVC, this tough polymer has good impact and UV
resistance.
Where we convert raw materials into finished products it is
inevitable there will be scrap material arising from the start-up
and shutdown periods of the processing. Polyplas Extrusions
recycle all their own plastic waste or scrap in-house.
