\n

There are many different types of plastic on the market, but we subdivide them into thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. BKB Precision is a specialist in the processing of these types of plastic. Each one has characteristic properties which make it more or less suitable for certain applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

An overview of characteristics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To give you an idea, we made an overview of the types of plastic that we process. (See diagram.) We have separated them into high-performance plastics<\/a> and engineering plastics<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also experienced with the following plastics and combinations of materials: Eslon material (in PC or PMMA), PP (Polypropylene), HPL (Volkern, Trespa), PSU (Polysulfone) and ESD. We also deal with filled plastics, coloured plastics and post-treated plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This overview<\/a> also highlights the many differences between these types of plastic, including differences in temperature resistance, dimensional stability and wear resistance. All these play a role when it comes to choosing the type of plastic you need. One thing is certain: with plastic, we can make the almost impossible possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which plastic is right for your application?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The choice of a plastic is usually not determined by the material\u2019s name, but by the properties required for a specific application. Consider, for example, heat resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance, or dimensional stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, a different plastic is often chosen for a component in a semiconductor machine than for a bearing, a medical application, or an analytical instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection guide below will help you make an initial selection.<\/p>\n\n\n
