Thermoplastics are used in a variety of industries and applications thanks to their many beneficial properties and versatility. Our extensive variety of injection molded plastic parts, spanning everything from sports and industrial applications to appliances and medical equipment, clearly reflects this versatility.
Thermoplastics have a long service life and require no maintenance. They are an excellent choice for protecting other materials as they are both corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant and moisture-repellent. This durability makes thermoplastics a reliable alternative that can withstand various stresses and protect against external influences for a long time. Most thermoplastics are also approved for contact with water and food.

Read moreThere are two main groups of plastics – thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermosetting plastic cannot be melted down without its chemical structure being destroyed.
Thermoplastic softens when heated and becomes plastic, i.e. malleable, and is therefore recyclable. Thermoplastics are easier and cheaper to handle when processing compared to thermoplastics, and also have a less negative environmental impact.
Thermoplastic is a light, strong and durable material that can replace metal in many cases. It is recyclable and can be reshaped, making it more environmentally friendly than thermosets. Thermoplastics are resistant to chemicals and corrosion, making them ideal for industrial applications. The material is easy to process into complex parts.
Thermoplastics are also available in varieties that can withstand both high and low temperatures. With their insulating properties, thermoplastic Perfect for electronics and electrical components. It is also used in the food and medical industries due to its safety and hygienic properties.
Finally, thermoplastics are both cost-effective and energy-efficient. With low manufacturing costs and fast production, it is simply a smart choice.
There are many different types of plastic, and they can be divided into two main categories: thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastics and thermosets react differently to heat. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times without losing their properties, making them recyclable and
flexible. Thermosetting plastic hardens permanently when heated and cannot be remelted, making it more heat-resistant but more difficult to recycle.
