Machinable Plastic Sheet

High temperature plastics and ceramics from professional plastics.

Machinable plastic sheet. Plastic raw material includes a wide variety of plastics that range in chemical and physical properties. They may melt chip or go out of tolerance as you remove material. Machinable plastics exhibit a large variety of physical and chemical properties so it is important to test which one will work the best for you. A good all around choice garolite g 10 fr4 is strong machinable and electrically insulating.

Basics of plastic selection for machining. Economical garolite ce sheets. 6x6 sample of abs pdf spec sheet product page 6x6 sample of acetal. Incorporated in 1995 advanced industrial has established itself nationally as the premier supplier of high performance plastic machinable shapes.

Highly engineered high performance products to low cost low performance. Yet certain plastics remain tricky to machine. Machining of plastics can be advantageous for applications requiring low volume production close tolerance dimensions and or difficult to mold configurations. It can be shaped into different forms such as plastic angles wire cubes and sheets.

Material data sheets and technical guidelines. Abs plastic abs acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a widely used thermoplastic polymer found in everything from the popular lego toys to automotive parts. Machinability relates to the relative ease of machining a plastic using various tools available to the general public. High performance plastic shapes.

Abs machinable plastic is a tough rigid thermoplastic material with high impact strength. Material data sheet includes. Choose the type you want and view the data sheet. Abs provides a balanced combination of mechanical toughness wide temperature range good dimensional stability chemical resistance electrical insulating.

Acetal peek and pvc plastic materials have superior machining characteristics plus they resist melting and chipping while offering good dimensional stability. The heat at which abs plastic is molded affects its final properties with low temperatures yielding more impact resistance and high temperatures yielding more ultimate heat resistance. Ul94 v 0 v 1 heat resistant high operating temperature for continuous service. It meets ul 94v0 for flame retardance.

Materials usage properties reference info. There is an array of plastics to choose from. We have a large inventory of acetal nylon peek ultem torlon vespel and teflon. Over 80 plastic materials in sheet and rod in stock here is a list of our materials.
