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).  

Plastic sheet and plastic film differ in terms of thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Filler materials and intended application also vary by product type. Thermal specifications include use temperature, deflection temperature, thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Tensile strength (break), tensile modulus, and elongation are important mechanical parameters. Electrical and optical properties for plastic sheets and plastic films include electrical resistivity, dielectric strength, dielectric constant or relative permittivity, index of refraction, and transmission. Some plastic sheet and plastic film use aramid fibers, chopped fibers, carbon fillers, glass powders, metal powders, and other mineral or inorganic materials. Unfilled products are also available. In terms of applications, plastic sheet and plastic film are often used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, optoelectronics, food processing, semiconductor, marine, medical, and military applications. 


Products & Services Related to Plastic Sheet and Plastic Film
Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants
Anaerobic adhesives and 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.
Plastics and Plastic Materials
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.
Rubber Adhesives and Sealants
Rubber adhesives and rubber 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.
