Plastic-Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic synthetic polymer resin. It has a good balance of properties and can be tailored to suit special needs. Its main physical characteristics are: hard and firm. Resin-grade ASS can have bending properties like synthetic rubber (or rubber). Among them, polybutadiene provides good compressive strength, non-crystalline styrene thermoplastics make the addition of ABS easier (more fluid in the mold), and acrylonitrile increases the fastness, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Effective control of these three components allows designers to design the degree of flexibility according to the needs of the final product. Perhaps because of this, ABS can be widely used in household products and white products. Although it is not as tough as other engineering polymers, it can effectively control costs. And you can review more details in our custom plastic parts.

Plastic-Polycarbonate (PC)
PC plastic-polycarbonate (referred to as PC) Polycarbonate (PC) is a modern material. The application of polycarbonate in this product is to interpret a typical object and shape. The direct reference to this design may be the wooden ladder found in the basement of your grandma’s house. This product does not use wood but is made of another modern material that is completely suitable for this function. Polycarbonate is as hard as other polymers, yet light in weight, and can provide a variety of colors and post-treatment effects. As a member of a relatively young thermoplastic family, polycarbonate, like many other plastic materials, was accidentally discovered by General Electric Company (GE) in the early 1950s. This material is known for its ultra-clearness and ultra-strongness and is often used as a substitute for glass in applications such as transparency and smoothness.

PU-Polyurethane Technology (PU)
PU is a material like skin, that can breathe and stretch, but it can be shaped into various thicknesses. These characteristics were initially used in the medical and plastic surgery industries and were used as cushion materials for patients in hospitals. Technology is one of the materials applied to the new and more general field of interior goods through experiments. Technology is a combination of liquid and solid at the same time. The liquid can be poured into the mold to obtain the product, that is, other substances can be easily added to it. In the sheet state, the shape of the material can be obtained by embossing or cutting. Compared with water or silicone resin gel, its advantage is that it does not contain a plasticizer, that is to say, the material does not easy to lose its basic characteristics after a long time. It is the only gel that will not crack, harden, or age.
Features of PU
Good pressure dissipation, breathability (good absorption and release), strong recovery ability, easy to mix with decorative materials, strong shock absorption, strong pressure absorption, adjustable hardness, high elasticity, non-fading, can be pasted, Does not irritate the skin and can be cast.
Applications of Polyurethane Technology(PU):
Bicycle seats, plastic surgery seat cushions, insoles, office chairs, handles of tennis rackets, etc. The PU leather we often say is made of PU plastic.
Main Process of PU
Injection casting, embossing, cutting.

Plastic-Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
PET is usually used in the packaging of food and soft drinks. However, because beer is thermally sensitive to oxygen and carbon dioxide, PET is not suitable for beer. There are a total of 5 layers of plastic bottles, and the two layers sandwiched between the main layer of PET are oxygen decay, which can prevent oxygen from entering and exiting. Miller Beer Company, which produced the first plastic beer bottle in 2000, claimed that plastic bottles can keep beer cooler than aluminum cans, and even have the same effect as glass bottles. They can be resealed and are not easily broken.
