Thermoplastics

Thermoplastic is a homogeneous material. The typical property of thermoplastic is thermoformability and weldability. Thermoplastic offers several advantages and is very widely suitable for various applications.

Benefits of thermoplastic:

  • Very good chemical resistance

  • Long service life

  • Clean and smooth surface

  • Good wear resistance

  • Easy to clean

  • Dirt repellent

  • Food grade

  • Recyclable

  • Versatility
