About Plastic Sheet and Plastic Film

Plastic sheet and plastic film is formed to a precise thickness and used in many different applications. They use many different chemical systems. Choices include: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), acetal or polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylics, cyanoacrylates, epoxy resins, ethylene copolymers, fluoropolymers, ionomer polymers, liquid crystal polymers (LCP), ketones, phenolic and formaldehyde resins, polyamides, polyamide-imides (PAI), polycarbonate, and polyethylene (PE, HDPE, UHMW PE). Plastic sheet and plastic film is also based on polyethylene terphthalate (PET), polybutylene terphthalate (PBT), polyesters and vinyl esters, polyether imides, polyether block amide (PEBA) resins, polyimides, polyolefin, polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polyphthalamide, polypropylene (PP), Polysulphide (PPS),  Polysulphone, and polyurethane (PU, PUR). Other chemical systems for plastic sheets and plastic films include: styrene, polystyrene, and styrene copolymers; silicone; and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDF), polyvinyl vinyl acetate (PVA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).  


Products & Services Related to Plastic Sheet and Plastic Film

Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants
Anaerobic adhesives and anaerobic sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues. 
Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.
Plastic and Rubber Balls
Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications.
Polymers and Plastic Materials
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Rubber Adhesives and Sealants
Rubber adhesives and sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.
Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials
Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
