HDPE

HDPE is a strong, durable, and lightweight thermoplastic known for its high tensile strength, excellent chemical resistance, and low moisture absorption. It has a linear structure with minimal branching, giving it higher density and greater crystallinity compared to LDPE and LLDPE. HDPE is widely used in rigid packaging, piping, and industrial applications where strength and durability are required.

PC

PC is a high-performance amorphous engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional impact strength, high transparency, and good heat resistance. It offers excellent dimensional stability and electrical insulation properties. PC is widely used in applications requiring optical clarity and mechanical toughness, such as automotive components, electronic housings, medical devices, and protective equipment.

HIPS

HIPS is a modified version of GPPS (general purpose polystyrene) with added rubber (polybutadiene) to significantly improve impact resistance while maintaining good processability and dimensional stability. It offers a balanced combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, and ease of fabrication. HIPS is widely used in applications requiring moderate strength and good surface finish for printing or painting.

PLA

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch raw materials proposed from renewable plant resources such as corn. Starch raw materials are fermented to produce lactic acid, which is then converted into polylactic acid through chemical synthesis. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, ultimately generating carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial for protecting the environment and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.

PBT

PBT is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent mechanical strength, high heat resistance, good electrical insulation properties, and fast crystallization rate. It offers low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability, making it an ideal material for precision components in automotive, electrical, and electronic applications. PBT is often reinforced with glass fiber to further enhance strength and stiffness.

PVC Compound

1. Cost Efficiency 2. Ease of Installation 3. Durability and Strength 4. Resistance to Weatherization

ABS

ABS is a tough, rigid, and impact-resistant engineering thermoplastic with good mechanical strength, excellent surface finish, and high dimensional stability. It is a terpolymer that combines the rigidity of styrene, the chemical resistance of acrylonitrile, and the toughness of butadiene rubber. ABS is widely used in automotive, electronics, consumer goods, and industrial applications where a balance of strength, aesthetics, and processability is required.

EPS

EPS is a rigid, lightweight cellular foam material produced from polystyrene beads that expand when exposed to steam. It offers excellent thermal insulation, high shock absorption, and low moisture uptake. EPS is widely used in construction, protective packaging, and disposable food containers due to its durability, weight savings, and cost-effectiveness. It is fully recyclable and can be reprocessed into new polystyrene products.

PLA

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch raw materials proposed from renewable plant resources such as corn. Starch raw materials are fermented to produce lactic acid, which is then converted into polylactic acid through chemical synthesis. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, ultimately generating carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial for protecting the environment and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.

EVA

EVA is a flexible, rubber-like thermoplastic copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It offers excellent toughness, low-temperature flexibility, good transparency (in certain grades), and strong adhesion properties. As the vinyl acetate (VA) content increases, EVA becomes softer, more flexible, and more elastic, with improved clarity and lower melting point. EVA is widely used in foam, film, adhesive, and extrusion coating applications where flexibility, impact resistance, and transparency are valued.

LLDPE

LLDPE is a flexible, durable thermoplastic known for its high tensile strength, excellent puncture resistance, and good environmental stress crack resistance. Compared to LDPE, LLDPE offers better impact strength and elongation properties while maintaining good flexibility. It is widely used in film extrusion applications and is compatible with most conventional polyethylene processing equipment.

POM

POM is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent dimensional stability, high stiffness, low friction, and good wear resistance. It is commonly used as a metal replacement in precision parts that require high mechanical strength and low moisture absorption.

PBAT

PBAT is a thermoplastic biodegradable plastic, which is a copolymer of butylene adipate and butylene terephthalate. It has the characteristics of PBA and PBT, and has good ductility and elongation at break, as well as good heat resistance and impact performance. In addition, it also has excellent biodegradability and is one of the best degradable materials for biodegradable plastics research and market application.

LDPE

LDPE is a soft, flexible, and lightweight thermoplastic known for its excellent clarity, good chemical resistance, and ease of processing.
