Engineering Plastic Profiles
| ACRYLIC: | Used for some headlight lens, bathroom ware and display units |
| ABS/PC: | Generally found in high impact car parts |
| ABS/PBT: | New blend of ABS and Polybutalene tetralhalate, used for later model motorcycle farings |
| AES: | High impact styrenic material with superior weatherability to ABS |
| ASA: | LURAN S – another styrenic blend with superior weatherability and temperature resistance to ABS or PVC for some Ford exterior trim |
| PA6: | A specifically modified Type 6 nylon with improved impact resistance and good welding properties |
| PC: | Polycarbonate – used in a variety of products requiring clarity, high impact or electrical properties |
| PC/PBT: | XENOY – A blend of polycarbonate and poly butalene tetrathalate . Used in some car dash boards |
| PC/PET: | A blend of polycarbonate and polyethylene tetrathalate found in at least brands of ride-on mowers - and colour matched accordingly |
| POM: | ACETAL resin. A crystalline engineering plastic found in bearings, springs or mouldings requiring superior dimensional stability to nylons or products requiring fatigue resistance and resistance to repeated impact or loadings. Very acrid fumes when welding |
| PPO: | (NORYL) - used in appliance housings requiring high temperature or SE – O properties with easy moulding and good dimensional stability |
| PP/EPDM: | A rubber modified polypropylene used for Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda and other bumpers |
| PUR: | General purpose grade polyurethane where clarity is not important. For bumpers or industrial moldings |
| PUR-C: | (High clarity grade) – with excellent welding characteristics |
| TPR: | Another rubber modified PP used in General Motors bumpers |
Commodity Plastic Profiles
| ABS: | General purpose ABS grade available in limited colours. Uses include motor cycle farings, appliances housing, carparts |
| ABS BLEND: | A special blend developed for repairing ABS motorcycle farings. More expensive than ABS but has improved ductility, with better sanding and finishing characteristics |
| HIPS: | High impact Polystyrene used for toys and non critical car parts |
| HMWPE: | Will weld both HMWPE and U-HMWPE sheets. Temperatures need to be very high and air flow a minimum for good adhesion and to minimize distortion |
| U-HMWPE: | Higher molecular weight than HMWPE – with similar welding requirements. Is much more expensive |
| HDPE-C: | (Crate grade) – UV stabilized, formulation for high speed wedling a variety of injection moulded crates and bins. Available in a wide range of industry colours. |
| HDPE-P: | (Pipe grade) – formulated for welding pipes, sheet or extruded and blow moulded products |
| MDPE-R: | (Rotational grade) – UV stabilized formulated for welding tanks, bins, drums or products made by the rotational molding process. Available in a full range of ‘Cotene’ tank colours |
| MDPE-P: | (Pipe grade) – For welding MDPE pipes, sheet etc |
| P.E (L-LDPE): | UV stabilized – A versatile blend of linear polyethylene plus adhesion promoter allowing it to adhere to all densities of polyethylene. Available In a wide range of colours – including motorcycle colours |
| PP-C: | (Crate grade) – High impact copolymer for high speed welding of crates, bins and automotive parts. Has good sanding properties for car bumpers etc. Available In a wide range of industry colours for crates, motorcycles and car headlamp bodies |
| PP-S: | (Sheet grade) – A recent addition for welding polypropylene sheet or extruded products – UV stabilised |
| PP-H: | HOMOPOLYMER polypropylene for sheet or moulded products |
| PP-RAN: | Random Copolymer of polypropylene (RANCO) |
| PVC: | Rigid PVC – Formulated for good ‘weldability’ ductility and sanding characteristics. Good acid resistance |
| PVC-F: | Flexible (soft) – General purpose PVC |
