THE CHOICE OF RAW MATERIAL

Plasticwork specialisation

Polymers are materials with long molecular chains that determine their properties and characteristics. Due to their diverse and multiple properties polymers are used in a wide range of sectors: mechanical, electronic, paramedical, heating and plumbing, fluid engineering, and gas.

Plasticwork is specialised in the transformation of engineering polymers that offer:

  • Mechanical strength with thermal and chemical resistance.
  • Low weight and ability to replace metals (Metal Replacement).
  • Precision and customisation.
  • Sustainability thanks to the components’ durability.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Know-how and research

Our strength lies in a combination of skills:

  • Knowledge of materials
  • Transformation experience
  • Constant dialogue with vendors
  • Advanced technology

We are always seeking new engineering polymers to add to the list of consolidated materials (PPSU, PSU, PA, PPA, PS, PBT, POM, PPO, PMMA, PP, ABS, PARA, PEI, PC, PC/ABS, thermoplastic rubbers…).
