  • High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic material used for durable and cost-effective injection molded parts

    HIPS

    Type: HIPS

    Impact Resistance, Economical, Electrical Insulation

    High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a low-cost and easily processable plastic material. It is often used in the manufacturing of low-strength structural components in scenarios where comprehensive requirements for a material’s impact resistance, processability, and cost are required. Additionally, with its excellent dimensional stability and ease of being painted and bonded, it has become an ideal material for prototyping.

  • HDPE injection molding plastic material — high-density, durable, and chemical-resistant plastic for precision-molded components.

    HDPE

    Type: HDPE

    Corrosion Resistance, Strength, Electrical Insulation

    High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a lightweight, chemically resistant, and high-strength material. It is flexible and tough, commonly used in applications such as food packaging (e.g., food containers), agricultural films, daily necessities (e.g., storage boxes), and water tanks.

  • PVC injection molding plastic material — durable, chemical-resistant polymer for precision-molded components and industrial applications.

    PVC

    Type: PVC

    Economical, Weather Resistance, Flame Retardancy

    Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer material characterized by excellent mechanical properties, outstanding corrosion resistance, and superior electrical insulation performance. By incorporating various additives, it can be tailored to meet customized requirements. Owing to its unique combination of properties, PVC finds extensive applications in fields such as construction, industry, packaging, and healthcare.

  • PA (Nylon) engineering plastic part showcasing high strength, durability, and precision manufacturing

    PA (Nylon)

    Type: PA (Nylon)

    Wear Resistance, Strength, Chemical Resistant, Self-lubrication

    Nylon is a versatile and widely used material in CNC machining due to its exceptional properties. Its high tensile strength, low coefficient of friction, and resistance to wear and abrasion make it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability and reliability, such as gears, bushings, and bearings. Additionally, nylon’s low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability ensure consistent performance even in humid or varying temperature conditions.

    Its ease of machining, coupled with its chemical resistance, also makes it suitable for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. With its remarkable combination of properties, nylon stands out as a versatile and reliable material for a diverse range of CNC machining applications.
