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.
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.
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) is a rigid sheet made of two sheets of pre-finished aluminum, bonded to a polyethylene core. Light-weight, without sacrificing durability, ACM sheets are often used for outdoor signage, and channel letter backings.
APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate)
APET (Amorphous-Polyethylene Terephathalate) film is known for its glossy, clear appearance. Offering crystal clear transparency, along with excellent chemical resistance, APET film is a popular choice for medical facesheilds.
Expanded Foam PVC
Expanded Foam PVC sheet is a versatile material, often used in the sign and graphics industry. Expanded closed-cell polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets are durable and rigid with a matte finish.
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).
High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), also known as PS (Polystyrene), is an amorphous thermoplastic material, used in lower heat applications. It is categorized as a standard material, and offers ease of processing, high impact strength, and stiffness.
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, or PETG, is a clear thermoplastic that can be formed into a number of shapes, making it suitable for use in a broad range of applications.
Phenolic/Thermoset Plastics
Phenolics, also known as Thermosets, are extremely versatile machinable plastics that deliver unique properties by combining resins with composite materials.
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).
Polypropylene Sheet, Rod and Tube
Polypropylene (PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, with a continuous use temperature range of -4° F (-20° C) to 212° F (100° C). It is categorized as a standard material, and offers excellent toughness, chemical resistance, and processability.
Polypropylene Twinwall – Corrugated Plastic
Polypropylene twinwall sheet, also known as fluted polypropylene, or simply as corrugated plastic, is an economical material that is light-weight and durable. In twinwall form, sheets are commonly used for both indoor and outdoor signage, as well as trade show and retail displays.
