High temperature plastics and ceramics from professional plastics.
Machinable plastic sheet.
Machining of plastics can be advantageous for applications requiring low volume production close tolerance dimensions and or difficult to mold configurations.
High performance plastic shapes.
Incorporated in 1995 advanced industrial has established itself nationally as the premier supplier of high performance plastic machinable shapes.
6x6 sample of abs pdf spec sheet product page 6x6 sample of acetal.
Yet certain plastics remain tricky to machine.
We have a large inventory of acetal nylon peek ultem torlon vespel and teflon.
It meets ul 94v0 for flame retardance.
Material data sheets and technical guidelines.
Material data sheet includes.
Over 80 plastic materials in sheet and rod in stock here is a list of our materials.
Acetal peek and pvc plastic materials have superior machining characteristics plus they resist melting and chipping while offering good dimensional stability.
We stock these materials in sheet plate rod and tubular bar.
Basics of plastic selection for machining.
Plastic raw material includes a wide variety of plastics that range in chemical and physical properties.
A good all around choice garolite g 10 fr4 is strong machinable and electrically insulating.
Economical garolite ce sheets.
They may melt chip or go out of tolerance as you remove material.
There is an array of plastics to choose from.
Abs plastic abs acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a widely used thermoplastic polymer found in everything from the popular lego toys to automotive parts.
It is easily machined and ideal for turning drilling milling sawing die cutting and shearing.
Abs provides a balanced combination of mechanical toughness wide temperature range good dimensional stability chemical resistance electrical insulating.
Abs machinable plastic is a tough rigid thermoplastic material with high impact strength.
The heat at which abs plastic is molded affects its final properties with low temperatures yielding more impact resistance and high temperatures yielding more ultimate heat resistance.
Plastic angles used in light structural applications in wet industrial environments agricultural settings and in the marine industry are a common shape.
Machinability relates to the relative ease of machining a plastic using various tools available to the general public.
It can be shaped into different forms such as plastic angles wire cubes and sheets.
Materials usage properties reference info.
Machinable plastics exhibit a large variety of physical and chemical properties so it is important to test which one will work the best for you.
