LGS Technologies Offers Fabrication Solutions with Large Selection of Plastics
LGS Technologies partners with you to offer fabrication solutions not only for foam and sponge materials, but we also have a huge selection of commercially available plastic and highly engineered specialty materials and composites. Plastics are a great alternative to metals, wood, and ceramics for a variety of reasons. For instance, plastics offer better corrosion/chemical resistance, good dielectric properties and operate in a wide variety of temperatures. Let us help you select an engineered plastic for your next project.
At LGS Technologies, we offer a full range of engineered plastic including the common materials listed below:
Acrylic – This lightweight plastic has high impact resistance. It also has good chemical resistance and excellent weather-ability.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) – This versatile plastic sheet provides a balanced combination of mechanical toughness and impact resistance.
PTFE (Polytetrafluorethylene) – This product has excellent chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. It is also weather-resistant and has a low coefficient of friction.
Nylon – This lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio product is abrasion, corrosion, and chemically resistant.
Polyimide – This plastic has excellent resistance to high temperatures, good chemical resistance, and offers excellent electrical insulation.
Polycarbonate – This weather-resistant plastic has high impact and high dielectric strength as well as good chemical resistance.
Polyester – This flexible material is inert to water and unaffected by oil, grease, and aromatics fuels. It also has excellent dielectric strength.
Polyethylene (high density) – This plastic offers excellent corrosion, abrasion, chemical, and water resistance and has high tensile strength.
Polypropylene – With excellent forming characteristics, polypropylene has low moisture absorption and is resistant to organic solvents.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – PVC has a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent water corrosion/weather resistant.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) – Is a very versatile and tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance.
Whatever your fabrication needs, LGS Technologies has an array of plastics with different properties that can get the job done. With years of experience behind us, we’re ready to create what you need! Ready to get started? Contact us to discuss with our team of experts the best plastic for your next project!
