MATERIALS

  • ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate): A material very similar to ABS with higher resistance to fading and better suited for outdoor use.

  • CA (cellulose acetate): Typically used in eyeglasses and film, CA is a flexible clear material that can be used in food contact.

  • HDPE (high-density polyethylene): Excellent strength-to-weight ratio and chemical resistance. It is often used for fuel tanks, connector insulators, and food containers. HDPE is also used in outdoor equipment like playgrounds.

  • LCP (liquid crystal polymer): LCP has mechanics even at elevated temperatures as well as low dielectric constants. This material provides exceptional features for micromolding and thin walled components. LCP is popular for electrical connectors and interconnects as well as medical devices.

  • LDPE (low-density polyethylene): A flexible and tough material with lower density versus HDPE. LDPE does not react to acids, bases, or alcohols. Useful for trays, snap lids, and general-purpose containers.

  • PA 6 (polyamide 6, nylon 6): Offers increased mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat, and/or chemical resistance.

  • PA 6/6 (polyamide 6/6, nylon 6/6): Offers increased mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat, and/or chemical resistance.
