"Your choice supplier of Advanced Engineering Plastics"

Engineering plastics can replace traditional materials in many applications, from sub-sea to space. We are here to help you select the right plastic for your next project and supply the material for as long as you need it. Plastics can be confusing, with different chemical names, brand names, nicknames, names for the resin the plastic is made from, and names for the stock rod, sheet and tube that it makes. In addition, there are a variety of fillers that manipulate mechanical properties, chemical resistance, working temperature, electrical insulation and more.

If you already know what you need, let us know and in many cases, we can cut and ship raw materials ready for your application on the day of order. We can provide ancillary documentation (specify at time of quote) such as Certificates of Conformity and EN10204 Certificates, as well as provide materials with further testing such as Ultrasonic or X-Ray screening. Many materials can be supplied precision ground to suit your process requirements. See some common data sheets below.
