Description of Commodity Plastic Profiles

ABS:

General purpose ABS grade available in limited colours. Uses include motor cycle farings, appliances housing, carparts

ABS BLEND:

A special blend developed for repairing ABS motorcycle farings. More expensive than ABS but has improved ductility, with better sanding and finishing characteristics

HIPS:

High impact Polystyrene used for toys and non critical car parts

HMWPE:

Will weld both HMWPE and U-HMWPE sheets. Temperatures need to be very high and air flow a minimum for good adhesion and to minimize distortion

U-HMWPE:

Higher molecular weight than HMWPE – with similar welding requirements. Is much more expensive

HDPE-C:

(Crate grade) – UV stabilized, formulation for high speed wedling a variety of injection moulded crates and bins. Available in a wide range of industry colours.

HDPE-P:

(Pipe grade) – formulated for welding pipes, sheet or extruded and blow moulded products

MDPE-R:

(Rotational grade) – UV stabilized formulated for welding tanks, bins, drums or products made by the rotational molding process. Available in a full range of ‘Cotene' tank colours

MDPE-P:

(Pipe grade) – For welding MDPE pipes, sheet etc

P.E (L-LDPE):

UV stabilized – A versatile blend of linear polyethylene plus adhesion promoter allowing it to adhere to all densities of polyethylene. Available In a wide range of colours – including motorcycle colours

PP-C:

(Crate grade) – High impact copolymer for high speed welding of crates, bins and automotive parts. Has good sanding properties for car bumpers etc. Available In a wide range of industry colours for crates, motorcycles and car headlamp bodies

PP-S:

(Sheet grade) – A recent addition for welding polypropylene sheet or extruded products – UV stabilised

PP-H:

HOMOPOLYMER polypropylene for sheet or moulded products

PP-RAN:

Random Copolymer of polypropylene (RANCO)

PVC:

Rigid PVC – Formulated for good ‘weldability' ductility and sanding characteristics. Good acid resistance

PVC-F:

Flexible (soft) – General purpose PVC
