ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is an amorphous thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of -4° F (-20° C) to 176° F (80° C). It is categorized as a standard material, and offers a balanced combination of mechanical toughness, impact resistance, and ease of fabrication and thermoforming.
ABS/PVC
ABS/PVC blend sheet, such as Boltaron, offers some of the best aspects of these two common thermoplastics. Excellent for thermoforming applications, it maintains high consistency from lot to lot fabricating, and uniformity in deep draws and sharp corners.
Acrylic (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA)
Acrylic, also known as Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), is a thermoplastic that can be formed into a number of shapes, making it suitable for use in a broad range of industries and products.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), part of the polyolefin family of materials, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of -50° F (-46° C) to 180° F (82° C).
PEI (Polyetherimide, ULTEM™)
PEI (Polyetherimide) is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic offering exceptional mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. It can be easily machined with conventional metalworking tools, and can be painted, hot stamped, printed or metallized.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate, also referred to as PC, is a tough, impact-resistant, virtually unbreakable material used in wide variety of applications. It is an amorphous thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 265° F (129° C).
Polycarbonate-ABS Blend (PC-ABS)
Polycarbonate-ABS blend sheet is an opaque, solid, low-gloss sheet, commonly known as LEXAN H6500. Commonly used in the bus & rail industry, this sheet offers excellent stiffness, as well as flame retardant properties.
PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone)
PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone) is an amorphous thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 300° F (149° C).
PVC-Acrylic
PVC-Acrylic is a thermoformable, high-impact, fire-rated sheet for a variety of aerospace and industrial applications.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW)
UHMW, also known as UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of up to 180° F (82° C).
