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.
