PDI's manufacturing processes utilize a variety of materials based on the specific use of each individual products and the specifications and requirements of our clients. We commonly produce high-grade plastic products using material that varies in thickness from .010 to .375 inches.
Common materials used in the vacuum and pressure forming process include:
ABS A class of plastics based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers...
Polystyrene Polystyrene is a very versatile plastic that can be rigid or formed. General purpose polystyrene is clear, hard and brittle. It has a relatively low melting point and typical applications include protective packaging, containers, lids, cups, bottles, trays and tumblers.
PVC A general purpose thermoplastic used for a wide range of products and parts. PVC is known for its high flexibility.
PETG
Polycarbonate Ideal for products designed for high impact resistance, Polycarbonate is anywhere from four to ten times as impact resistant as other materials; in fact, it is used for bulletproof windows.
Polyethylene A thermoplastic material having excellent electrical properties.
Polypropylene A thermoplastic material similar to polyethylene but somewhat stiffer and with a higher softening point (temperature).
Other materials are also available based on your product manufacturing specifications, including medical and food grade ratings that require special characteristics.
