Fabricated shapes or parts are polymers or elastomers fabricated into finished shapes or parts using molding, casting, extrusion, pultrusion, machining, thermal forming, plastic welding, blow molding, rapid prototyping techniques, grinding and/or other specialized processes. The exact dimensions and tolerances of the finished fabricated shapes or parts are typically made-to-print based on the OEMs requirements and the supplier's in-house capabilities. Products & Services
Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.
Polymer and plastic composites are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples of polymer and plastic composites include fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs), sheet molding compounds (SMCs), bulk molding compounds (BMCs), pre-preg materials, and fabricated composite parts.
Foams and foam materials are industrial products made from low density elastomers, plastics, and other materials with various structures and porosities.
Plastic plate, rod and semi-finished shapes include shaped plastic parts and semi-finished plastic stock.
Elastomers and rubber shapes are available in finished and semi-finished stock formations. Common forms include bars, plates, profiles, rods and shims.
