Plastic

Plastics are materials that mainly consist of macromolecules.
They are mostly precessed into molded parts, semi-finished products, fibers or foils.

We cut plastics with the water jet as standard.

Here you can see the common plastic materials.
Should your desired material differ, just send us an inquiry with the desired material.

Material DesignationMaterial CharacteristicsAnwendbarkeit
Acrylic

  • In contrast to real glass very unbreakable and stable
  • Brilliant visual effect
  • Is translucent and UV stable
  • Is is frost-resistant and heat-resistant
  • Withstands outdoor use for years without becoming brittle
  • The surface of the acrylic glass is easy to care for

  • Furniture
  • Decorations
  • Tabletops
  • and much more

PE-HD

  • Density between 0,94 und 0,97 g/cm3
  • High toughness and elongation at break
  • Good sliding behavior
  • Little wear
  • Temperature resistance from –85°C up to +90°C
  • Visually milky white
  • Very good electrical and dielectric behavior
  • Very low water absorption
  • Very easy to machine and to preocess without cutting

  • Aerospace

PP

  • Harder, stronger and thermally more resilient than PE
  • The maximum continuous operating temperature is around 100°C
  • Density between 0,895 g/cm³ and 0,92 g/cm³

  • Small electrical appliances
  • Molded parts for household appliances and for body parts
  • Molded parts in the interior of mtor vehicles
  • In the construction sector, for example for pipes, hot water tanks and garden furniture

PA-6

  • High strength and rigidity
  • Excellent impact resistance
  • Good abrasion and wear resistance
  • Relatively low glass temperature

  • Lamp housing
  • Rigid fuel lines and tanks
  • Accelerator and clutch pedals
  • Power tool housings

POM

  • High dimensional stability

Rubber

  • Not meltable
  • When overheated, it permanently decomposes to a sticky mass
  • Not particularly heat-resistant
  • In extreme cold, rubber freezes to a hard glass and breaks brittle when loaded

  • Insulation materials
  • Conveyor belts
  • Engine mounts
  • Technical articles and everyday articles of all kinds
  • High-strength, thin-walled articles
  • Molded articles, buffers and rubber-metal spring elements
  • Hoses
