Material Selection Guidance

Choosing the right material is crucial to the success of any project, and at Kincaid Plastics, we guide you through the selection process with precision. We offer expert advice based on the unique performance requirements of your application, including considerations for strength, durability, weight, chemical resistance, and thermal properties. Our in-depth knowledge of material behavior allows us to recommend the most suitable resins, whether you’re working on a high-volume consumer product or a highly specialized industrial component.

Thermoplastic Resins We Process

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

A strong and rigid material known for its excellent impact resistance, ABS is widely used in applications ranging from automotive components to consumer products.

Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM)

With high strength, stiffness, and low friction, Acetal is ideal for precision parts requiring tight tolerances, such as gears and bearings.

Acrylic (Polymethyl Methacrylate, PMMA)

Acrylic offers excellent clarity, weather resistance, and optical properties, making it perfect for applications like display screens, light covers, and windows.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)

Known for its durability and moisture resistance, HDPE is a versatile material used in everything from piping to consumer packaging.

LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)

LDPE provides flexibility and excellent resistance to impact, making it suitable for applications such as film, packaging, and molded parts.

PC (Polycarbonate)

A highly durable material with excellent optical clarity and heat resistance, PC is often used in high-performance applications like medical devices, electronic housings, and safety equipment.

PC + ABS (Polycarbonate + Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Blend)

This blend combines the strength and impact resistance of PC with the versatility and ease of processing of ABS, offering an excellent balance of properties for demanding applications.

PAEK (Polyaryletherketone)

A high-performance thermoplastic, PAEK offers excellent mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for extreme environments such as aerospace and oil & gas industries.

PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)

PEEK is known for its exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures, making it a go-to material for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.

PP (Polypropylene)

Lightweight and chemically resistant, polypropylene is a popular choice for applications like packaging, automotive parts, and medical devices.

PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate)

PBT offers high dimensional stability, good electrical insulation properties, and resistance to chemicals and heat, making it ideal for automotive and electrical components.

PEI (Polyetherimide)

PEI offers high heat resistance, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications in electronics and medical industries.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

One of the most widely used plastics, PVC offers excellent durability and chemical resistance, making it ideal for piping, construction materials, and consumer goods.

Nylon (Polyamide)

Nylon is a versatile and strong material known for its wear resistance, toughness, and ability to withstand harsh environments, making it suitable for applications like gears, bearings, and fasteners.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)

TPE provides the flexibility of rubber with the processing ease of thermoplastics, commonly used in applications requiring elasticity, such as seals and gaskets.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

TPU offers exceptional abrasion resistance, elasticity, and transparency, making it ideal for applications like automotive parts, footwear, and sporting goods.
