Plastics 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.

Elastomers and rubber shapes are available in finished and semi-finished stock formations. Common forms include bars, plates, profiles, rods and shims.

Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation or resilience).

Silicone adhesives and silicone sealants have a high degree of flexibility and very high temperature resistance.

Mold releases and release agents are film forming lubricating oils, solid lubricants, waxes, fluids or coatings that prevent other materials from sticking or adhering to an underlying surface.

Polymer and plastic composites are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples of polymer and plastic composites include fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs), sheet molding compounds (SMCs), bulk molding compounds (BMCs), pre-preg materials, and fabricated composite parts.

Aluminum extrusion services providers specialize in extruding aluminum and aluminum alloys into custom and standard profiles and shapes

Extrusion includes the manufacture of lengths of cross-sectional shapes and profiles.  Extruded products are available in a wide variety of materials and material combinations

Plastic extrusion services suppliers specialize in extruding plastics and polymer compounds into custom and standard profiles and shapes

Extrusion machines force or pull unformed material into alignment guides and shaped dies to produce lengths of stock forms and cross-sectional shapes

Downstream extrusion equipment is used to finish and inspect parts once they have been extruded. Post-extrusion processing operations include cooling, cutting, pulling, texturing, embossing and profile inspection

Profiles and structural shapes include shaped stock with uniform cross sections such tees, angles or beams manufactured through extrusion, continuous casting, roll forming, and other processes

Back-up rings or anti-extrusion rings are washer-like devices used to prevent seals from extruding through gaps while under pressure. Seals are installed in the downstream side of the gland

Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.

Mold making services design and build tooling and patterns for a variety of molding processes, including investment casting, permanent mold casting, sand casting, die casting, lost foam casting, powder metal, die forging, injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, compression molding, rotational molding and others
