- GB Plastics & Blinds offer a large range of engineering plastics in both flat sheet and rod form
HDPE- High density polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer. HDPE is a popular commonly used material available in various grades depending on the application requirements.
- Food grade cutting boards
- Boat trailor skids
- Lining to resist sliding abrasion & assist release
- Components subject to high wear and low friction
- Materials in direct contact with food
- Commercial tanks
UHMWPE- Ultra high molocular weight polyethylene is suited to engineering applications where its unique properties of excellent impact strength, wear abrasion resistance are required.
- High impact strength
- Light weight easy to handle
- Food grade
- Chemical resistant
- Hopper linings
- Mechanical bearing parts
- High waering parts
- Food machinery equipment
Acetal- Acetal is a semi-crystalline material with high strength, low coefficient of friction and good wear properties especially in wet environments.
- High mechanical strength
- Excellent machinability
- Low moisture obsorption
- Precision gears
- Bearings
- Electrical insulations
- Parts in water up to 90 C
Recycled HDPE- Recycled HDPE is an extruded flat sheet panel manufactured from recycled hdpe & polypropylene. The process produces flat sheet panels that offer a number of distinct benefits over comparable flat sheet products such as plywood, marine ply, mdf and other traditional construction and shopfitting materials.
- Good strength to weight ratio
- Rustproof
- Will not rot or swell
- UV resistant
- Horse trailer side walls & tail gates
- Stable partitions
- Feed troughs
- Battery boxes
- Flooring
- Animal enclosures
- Signage and display boards
- Concrete casting
Nylon- Nylon is a strong, stiff engineering plastic with outstanding bearing and wear properties. Nylon is frequently used to replace metal bearings and bushings often eliminating the need for external lubrication. Other benefits include a reduction in part weight, less operating noise, and decreased wear on mating parts.
- Excellent bearing & wear properties
- Good chemical resistance
- Easy to machine
- Bearings & bushes
- Gears
- Wear pads
- Rollers
- Wheels
- Seals & gaskets
Teflon- Teflon is a polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) Carbon and graphite fillers are available in several grades to match specific applications.
- Carbon improves creep resistance and increases the hardness and thermal conductivity.
- High thermal conductivity
- Excellent wear resistance
- Antistatic
- Sleeves
- Bearing rings
- Piston and seal wearing
- Bushes
