Plastic Gaskets
& Materials
We manufacture gaskets onsite and produce custom-made products using our wide range of plastic materials.
Our range of plastic materials varies in terms of the type of finish, thickness, hardness, colour and temperature tolerances.
Our Plastic Material Range
Browse through the following list of popular plastic materials used for gaskets and other bespoke applications. If you are interested in a plastic material that is not listed below, contact us to discuss your requirements and the possibility of sourcing this for you.
Plastic Material Options
Acetal Plastic
Acetal plastic is a general-purpose, semi-crystalline, high-strength engineered thermoplastic. Commonly used for parts that need to be very stiff, have low surface friction and good dimensional stability. Good wear and tear properties especially in wet environments. Also called polyacetal and polyoxymethylene (POM).
Acrylic Plastic
Acrylic plastic is a transparent material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and optical clarity. Acrylic plastic is easy to fabricate, bonds well with adhesives and solvents, and is easy to thermoform. It has superior weathering properties compared to many other transparent plastics.
Bakelite
Phenolic cotton cloth laminated | Medium weave
Medium weave cotton phenolic laminate for general purpose usage. Suitable for gears, bearings and low tension electrical applications. Lightweight and easy to machine.
HDPE (High Density Polyethlyene)
Known for its premium quality HDPE plastic (High Density Polyethylene), also known as PE100. The black UV-stabilised material offers the advantage of high impact strength even at low temperatures together with good corrosion resistance. It boasts excellent processing properties and is highly tolerant of chemicals. The natural PE is approved for contact with food FDA. Our range has a service temperature range from -50 degrees C to +80 degrees C.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate (PC) plastics are a naturally transparent amorphous thermoplastic. Polycarbonate plastics are engineering plastics in that they are typically used for more capable, robust materials such as in impact-resistant “glass-like” surfaces.
Polypropylene
Polypropylene plastics , sometimes abbreviated as PP, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a variety of industrial plastics including food processing, reusable containers, plastic parts, chemical tanks, and bunds.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane (PU) or Urethane is an elastomeric material available in a wide range of hardness. Polyurethane has excellent resistance to abrasion, oils, various chemicals, solvents, and oxidation while maintaining high tensile strength and resilience.
PTFE (Polytetrefluoroethylene)
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a strong, tough, waxy, non-stick and nonflammable. Also known as Teflon, Fluon, Hostaflon, and Polyflon, PTFE is distinguished by its slippery surface, high melting point, and resistance to attack by almost all chemicals. It has useful electrical and mechanical properties and can be moulded into solid rods, tubes and sheets for machining into finished components. It also has excellent UV resistance.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used in a variety of applications in the building and construction, health care, electronics, automobile and other sectors. Used to create products ranging from piping and siding, components and more.
