Materials

Nylon-6 (PA-6)

A strong, tough, and durable engineering plastic. Commonly used in connecting elements and technical components. Its self-lubricating properties make it ideal for sliding applications like bushings or bearings. Requires a few days of acclimatization post-injection molding, during which it absorbs approx. 3% moisture to reach optimal strength. Operates at up to 100–120 °C for short durations in non-critical parts. Many grades are self-extinguishing.

Nylon-66 (PA-66)

Similar to PA-6 but with slightly higher temperature and wear resistance. Tough, durable, and suitable for technical applications and connecting components. Self-lubricating and ideal for sliding elements. Moisture absorption of approx. 3% is needed post-molding to regain mechanical strength. Temporary temperature resistance up to 120 °C. Many types are self-extinguishing.

Low-Density Polyethylene (LD-PE)

Highly flexible and nearly unbreakable. Excellent chemical resistance makes it ideal for plugs, caps, and sealing elements. Does not absorb moisture, making it suitable for electrical insulation. Cannot be glued. Flammable and may discolor or become brittle when exposed to direct sunlight.

High-Density Polyethylene (HD-PE)

Stiffer and more scratch-resistant than LD-PE, while maintaining good chemical resistance. Suitable for plugs, caps, and protective covers. Moisture-resistant and a good insulator. Not suitable for gluing. Flammable and sensitive to UV exposure over time.

Polyoxymethylene (POM)

A strong and stable plastic with low moisture absorption (<0.5%), offering excellent dimensional stability. Ideal for precision mechanical components like gears, clamps, and sliding elements. Good electrical insulator. Can be glued and machined easily. Similar in performance to nylon but with improved resistance to moisture.

Polyvinylchloride (Z-PVC)

Flexible and versatile. Ideal for vibration dampers, door stops, and foot inserts. Can be easily glued. Moderate resistance to chemicals and weathering.

PEEK

A high-performance thermoplastic with exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Suitable for demanding applications in aerospace, electronics, and medical industries. Continuous use temperature up to 250 °C. Flame resistant (UL94 V0).

Polypropylene (PP)

A moisture-resistant and chemically resistant material with good impact strength and scratch resistance. Heat resistant up to 100–120 °C temporarily. Common in both technical and household applications, such as hinges, caps, and containers.

Elastomer

Highly elastic and available in various hardness levels. Allows repeated deformation without damage. Ideal for anti-slip feet, cushioning, and shock-absorbing elements.

PP + TPE (60% PP / 40% TPE)

Combines the flexibility of thermoplastic elastomers with the strength of polypropylene. Suitable for applications requiring both flexibility and structural integrity.

High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS / SV-PS)

Tougher than standard polystyrene, with good impact resistance. Does not absorb moisture, making it suitable for insulation and lightweight structural parts.

Bakelite (Phenol Formaldehyde)

A thermoset plastic with excellent electrical insulating properties. Heat-resistant and very hard. Common in knobs, electrical housings, and legacy components.

Nylon-6 + 30% Glass Fibre

Reinforced for enhanced dimensional stability, strength, and heat resistance. Suitable for high-performance parts like handles and structural supports.

Polystyrene (PS / GPPS / MIPS)

Available in general-purpose (GPPS) and medium-impact (MIPS) variants. Insulating, moisture-resistant, and commonly used in consumer goods, toys, and enclosures.

Polyphenylenesulfide (PPS)

A high-performance thermoplastic for extreme environments. Offers high heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.

Nylon-6 + 25% Glass Fibre

Similar to PA6 GF30, but with slightly lower reinforcement. Suitable for parts requiring rigidity, impact resistance, and heat tolerance.

Nylon + GF Chrome-Plated

Glass-fiber-reinforced nylon with a decorative chrome finish. Offers strength with an appealing surface for visible components.

POM + 30% Glass Fibre

More rigid and heat-resistant than unfilled POM, but less flexible. Ideal for high-load mechanical parts that require dimensional precision.

Polypropylene + TPE

Blended material combining toughness and flexibility. Used in parts requiring soft-touch surfaces with rigid structural support.

Polyurethane (Acrylic Adhesive Base)

Slip-resistant polyurethane film with acrylic adhesive. Bonds well to metals, PC, ABS, and acrylic. Ideal for non-slip buffers and pads.

Polyurethane (Rubber Adhesive Base)

Slip-resistant film with rubber adhesive. Strong adhesion to PE, PP, and powder-coated surfaces. Not suitable for metals or hard plastics.

PA66 + Carbon Fibre + PTFE

A high-performance engineering plastic. Carbon fiber enhances strength and heat dissipation; PTFE reduces friction and wear. Ideal for high-load sliding and wear applications.

Metals and Others

Aluminium

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and used in both structural and decorative parts.

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

Flexible, recyclable, and environmentally friendly. SEBS-based, resistant to many chemicals and weather conditions. Shore hardness around 70A.

Brass

Excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Often nickel-plated for decorative use. RoHS compliant.

Mild Steel (Zinc-Plated)

Strong and cost-effective. Ideal for high-load applications where conductivity is not critical. Zinc coating provides corrosion resistance and a clean finish.

Stainless Steel (X5CrNiS18-8)

Non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant. Used in demanding environments requiring hygiene and durability.

Hardened Steel (Zinc-Plated)

Heat-treated for high mechanical strength. Used in self-tapping screws and fasteners. Zinc-coated for corrosion resistance.
