Materials

Choosing the right materials is critical and it all starts with a thorough understanding of the product application.
 

  • What is your target price for your product?
  • How long does it need to last and what pressures or weights will it need to withstand?
  • What environmental conditions, temperature or chemicals, will the product be exposed to?
  • What other cosmetic or other performance characteristics do you need?

By working with material manufacturers, we can help you find the right resin to meet your specifications while keeping costs in line. We have worked with more than 30 materials, including thermoplastics, thermosets, engineered resins, and additives including UV stabilizers, flame retardants and glass fibers.
