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

Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others. 

Plastic tubing is constructed of many different plastic compounds for flow lines for fluids and gases in pneumatic, hydraulic, process, medical and many other specialized applications

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

Plastic fabrication services provide custom machining, bending, forming and assembly of plastic parts. Companies may use any of several types of joining techniques in assembly such as fasteners, welding and gluing

Plastic plate, rod and semi-finished shapes include shaped plastic parts and semi-finished plastic stock

Plastic machining services fashion or fabricate parts and components out of various plastic and thermoplastic materials

Molding compounds and resins are industrial plastics and polymers that are suitable for forming. They are available as pellets, liquids, and powders and are used in processes such as injection molding, compression molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), resin transfer molding (RTM), and blow molding

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.

Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.

Optical manufacturing services design, fabricate, finish and test optical components and optical elements.

Specialty polymers and resins are proprietary polymers, resins, monomers and intermediates. This category includes plastics and elastomers that are based on proprietary curing technologies or chemistries, or that are designed for specialized applications

Molding services create ceramic, composite, glass, rubber, plastic, silicone, or metal parts by combining solids or powders with liquids, or by pressing solid materials or powders into a die or form

Casting resins are pourable plastic or elastomer compounds used to cast parts, make molds or form a structure in place

Plastic mold equipment design and fabrication services specialize in the design and fabrication of machinery used to create plastic molds
