Construction Polymers

The technical plastic types – also called structural plastics or Engineering plastics – are a group of plastic materials used for demanding tasks where higher requirements are placed on properties such as impact strength, stiffness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability and fire retardant properties, etc.

Structural plastic thus possesses a better combination of physical, thermal and chemical properties than the so-called Basic Polymers typically exhibit.

SAN - Styrene Acrylonitril

SAN is a copolymer of Styrene and Acrylonitril and is distinguished by its good stiffness, hardness, good properties at higher temperature, but most importantly, the SAN has polystyrene clarity, but has better chemical resistance than polystyrene. With these properties, SAN is used for drinking glasses, bowls, cosmetic containers, window panels, battery boxes, etc.

Plastcom has several SAN grades in stock in Kolding.

Manufacturer - Versalis

Versalis produktionsfacility for styrene basered materials is located in Mantua, Italy and Százhalombatta, Hungary. The processes are all based on proprietary technology, and are known at international level for their technological excellence.

Versalis is recognized as one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of SAN. Plastcom supplies directly from Versalis’ factories to our customers in Denmark.

ABS - Acrylic nitrile Butadien Styren

ABS is an amorphous plastic consisting of Acrylic nitrile (20-35%), Butadiene (5-30%) and Styren (40-60%). When 3 monomers are included in a copolymer, it is called a terpolymer. The material properties can be adjusted quite a bit depending on the composition, but basically ABS is a cool, strong and rigid material, with excellent dimension stability, hardness and shine. ABS has its limitations in relation to UV and chemical resistance, weather resistance and lack of transparency due to the butadiene content.

The poor weather resistance can be improved with masterbatch and additives. Contact Plastcom for more information about the possibilities.

ABS can easily be processed in injection molding, extrusion and vacuum forming. Applications are everything from household appliances, toys, cabinets, suitcases, automotive and other technical articles.

Plastcom offers deliveries both directly from the plant and from our warehouse in Kolding.

ABS comes in a variety of Sinkral® qualities.

Manufacturer - Versalis

Versalis produces its Sinkral® ABS based on an innovative continuous mass technology developed by their R&D team and is also widely used for their other control materials (SAN, GPPS and HIPS).

By being a one-step, closed loop in a continuous process, Versali’s ABS technology ensures a consistent lot-to-lot consistency, homogeneity and stability compared to the traditional emulsion batch process. From the user’s point of view, it means a more reliable and uniform raw material.

POM - Polyoxymethylene

POM is a versatile high crystal steel construction plastic with unique material properties compared to most other plastic types. POM combines technical characteristics such as high mechanical strength, stiffness, dimension stability, toughness, hardness, temperature resistance, durability and good chemical resistance. POM has limitations in terms of: UV resistance and caress strength.

POM is primarily used for injection molding of technical components for machine parts, gears, valves, bearings, springs, automotive parts, but also in electrical engineering, furniture and leisure.

In practice, we offer the full range of POM grades and stock products from our central warehouse in Kolding.

Plastcom offers: POM black and nature w/u filler.

PC - Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is an amorphous transparent plastic characterized by great impact strength, toughness, and breaking strength. The material has good heat resistance, relatively high stiffness, good UV properties as well as good electrical insulation properties. The material has limitations in connection with strong acids and bases, as well as persistent hot water.

PC is widely used when there is a need for impact strength and transparency such as safety glasses, helmets, skylight products, medical devices, lamps, contact lenses as well as parts for electronic equipment such as TV, radio, etc.

Plastcom offers: PC with different viscosity w/u UV.

Manufacturer - LOTTE Chemical

LOTTE Chemical is the largest petrochemical manufacturer in South Korea. Their process technology is unique and very environmentally friendly, as the material is produced from the greenhouse gas CO2, and Ethylene oxide.

Typically, PC is produced by using the highly environmentally damaging chemicals Phosgen and Methyl chloride. So if environmental considerations are a priority, Lotte Chemicals PC is the safe choice.

Value-adding guidance and innovation

Either we find a suitable raw material within our current range – or we develop a brand-new product for you.

Knowledge that translates into qualified elections

An optimal raw material is the foundation for a plastic product with strong properties and the prerequisite for an efficient development process and a competitive production economy.

Choosing the right plastic type and mastarbach is therefore an important but also a complex decision-making process, because there are so many factors that come into play.

When you add the environmental selection criteria to this, qualified plastic technical advice is essential for the functionality of your product, your brand’s reputation and your financial benefits.

It is our most important task to optimise all three things.

From idea development to production we are with you all the way

Basis Polymerer

Beskrivelse:

Til gruppen af Basisplast regner man typisk Polyethylen (PE), Polypropylen (PP) og Polystyren (PS).

Disse 3 polymerer står for ca. 50% af verdens plastforbrug, og anvendes i alt fra folier, emballager, møbler, legetøj, drikkedunke, ølkasser, medicinsk udstyr, slanger, rør, isolation mm.

Basispolymererne (især PP) kan desuden tilsættes en lang række additiver for at tilføre specielle egenskaber. Det kan være kridt, talkum, glas, pigmenter etc.

Konstruktions Polymerer

Beskrivelse:

De tekniske plasttyper – også kaldet konstruktionsplast eller Engineering plastics – er en gruppe af plastmaterialer, der anvendes til krævende opgaver.

Her stilles der højere krav til egenskaber som f.eks. slagstyrke, stivhed, kemisk resistens, varmeresistens, slidstyrke og brandhæmmende egenskaber mm.

Konstruktionsplast besidder således en bedre kombinationen af fysiske, termiske og kemiske egenskaber end de såkaldte Basis Polymerer typisk udviser.

PVC

Beskrivelse:

PVC opdeles typisk i to segmenter – blød og hård PVC.

PVC er et alsidigt og derfor meget attraktivt materiale. Blandt de fremherskende egenskaber tæller transparens og god kemikalieresistens. Desuden opnås en høj grad af stivhed ved de hårde typer. Ved de blødgjorte typer opnår man derimod stor fleksibilitet foruden en høj grad af slagfasthed.

Én af PVC-materialets helt store fordele er, at det er ”født” selvslukkeligt – hvorfor man ikke behøver at tilsætte miljøbelastende brandhæmmere.

Alt dette kombineret med materialets høje genanvendelighed, gør materialet meget anvendeligt i mange sammenhænge.

Elastomerer

Beskrivelse:

Termoplastiske elastomerer er en meget bred produktgruppe af bløde materialer. De er alle kendetegnet ved høj fleksibilitet, men har hver især deres egne specielle styrker.

Elastomererne udviser ofte lignende egenskaber med gummi, men hvor eksempelvis TPE har den fordel, at den kan forarbejdes ved traditionelle termoplastiske processer.

Materialeegenskaber som kompression, olieresistens, transparens, slidstyrke, varmerestistens, soft touch indgår ofte i overvejelserne hos designerne, når den rette materiale-kategori skal vælges til fx bygningsmaterialer, automotive applikationer, sportsartikler, elektriske komponenter og husholdningsartikler mm.

Recycle – Post Consumer og Post Industrial

Beskrivelse:

Genbrugsmaterialer opdeles typisk i to segmenter; Post Consumer og Post Industrial.

I begge tilfælde udvikles der meget veldefinerede compounds af høj kvalitet. Post Industrial kvaliteterne er naturligvis af højere kvalitet og lidt dyrere, men faktum er, at Post Consumer kvaliteterne ofte klarer opgaven.

Som noget helt nyt og unikt tilbyder Plastcom også Bio-baseret Post Consumer materialer – såfremt reduktion af CO2 er et fokusområde.

Additiver:   Funktionsadditiver som antioxidant, slip, antislip, UV, antistat, etc.

Basis Polymers

Description:

The group of Basic Plastics typically counts Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS).

These 3 polymers account for about 50% of the world’s plastic consumption, and are used in everything from foils, packaging, furniture, toys, water bottles, beer boxes, medical devices, hoses, pipes, insulation etc.

In addition, the base polymers (especially PP) can be added to a wide range of additives to add special properties. It can be chalk, talc, glass, pigments etc.

Construction Polymers

Description:

The technical plastic types – also called structural plastics or Engineering plastics – are a group of plastic materials used for demanding tasks.

Here, higher demands are placed on properties such as impact strength, stiffness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability and fire retardant properties, etc.

Structural plastic thus possesses a better combination of physical, thermal and chemical properties than the so-called Basic Polymers typically exhibit.

PVC

Description:

PVC is typically divided into two segments – soft and hard PVC.

PVC is a versatile and therefore very attractive material. Among the predominant properties, transparency and good chemical resistance count. In addition, a high degree of stiffness is achieved by the hard types. The softened types, on the other hand, achieve great flexibility in addition to a high degree of impact resistance.

One of the great advantages of the PVC material is that it is “born” self-extinguishable – which is why you do not need to add environmentally damaging fire retardants.

All this, combined with the high recyclability of the material, makes the material very useful in many contexts.

Elastomers

Description:

Thermoplastic elastomers are a very wide product group of soft materials. They are all characterized by high flexibility, but each has their own special strengths.

The elastomers often exhibit similar properties with rubber, but where, for example, TPE has the advantage that it can be processed by traditional thermoplastic processes.

Material properties such as compression, oil resistance, transparency, durability, heat resistance, soft touch are often taken into account by designers when choosing the right material category for e.g. building materials, automotive applications, sporting goods, electrical components and household goods, etc.

Recycle - Post Consumer and Post Industrial

Description:

Recycled materials are typically divided into two segments; Post Consumer and Post Industrial.

In both cases, very well-defined compounds of high quality are developed. Post Industrial grades are of course of higher quality and a little more expensive, but the fact is that Post Consumer qualities often do the job.

As something completely new and unique, Plastcom also offers Bio-based Post Consumer materials – if reducing CO2 is a focus area.
