We vacuum form, heat bend and CNC machine HIPS plastics – also called Styrene or Polystyrene.
Styrene sheet is characterized by its light weight, toughness and good dielectric (nonconducting) properties, and it is easy to process.
Typical Applications Thin HIPS plastic is easily die or forme cut for signs and displays, or used in component parts. Outdoors, HIPS should be used only in short-term applications as it generally does not weather well unless it has a UV resistant, weather-resistant coating. HIPS plastics are well-suited for vacuum forming, and are used extensively in packaging.
HIPS is used for many applications including:
Signage Point of Sale Displays Exhibits Light diffusers Appliance panels Trim strips Packaging Drinking cups

ABS Ball Chute
ABS Plastics (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
ABS plastics are combination of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene resins. They are hard and durable through a broad range of temperatures. ABS plastics are highly versatile plastics. ABS bonds well using either adhesive or solvent cement. ABS plastics can be painted, screen-printed and vacuum-plated.
ABS plastics extruded into sheets are used extensively for vacuum. Sheets are available extruded with surface texturing such as pinseal or leathergrain.
Typical ABS Plastics Applications ABS Plastics are easily machined and in thinner gauges easily die or forme cut.
ABS plastics are used for such applications as:
Refrigerators liners Equipment housings Luggage cases Food trays Motor car components Machine Covers Storage bins
ABS Plastics Grades and Characteristics
We mould a variety of ABS Plastic grades with such characteristics as heat resistance, flame resistance, acrylic capped for bathroom and sanitary ware and weatherability for outdoor use.
ABS Plastic Sheet Sizes –Standard sizes are 1000 x 2000 or 1250 x 2500mm, with standard thickness ranging from 1mm to 6mm.
ABS Plastic Sheet Colours – Many colours, types and surface textures are available.
ABS Plastic Sheet Additives – Static dissipative and UV-resistant coatings available
PETG Banana traay
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
PETG is a thermoplastic copolyester that provides excellent toughness, chemical resistance and is easy to thermoform. It is one of the most respected and trusted plastic sheets around. It offers extreme clarity and light transmission in combination with high gloss. PETG fabricates well using processes like die cutting, drilling, routing, bending and polishing. It bonds easily using solvents or adhesives. With its low forming temperature, PETG vacuum forms very well and can be heat or cold bent. PETG can be silk screened printed.
PETG is a high-impact, co-polyester material, but not suitable in outdoor applications unless UV resistant stabilizers are added. PETG has a soft surface and it can be vulnerable to scratching in high contact environments.
PETG is compliant, so it can be used in medical and food applications. In medical applications, it stands up to radiation and chemical sterilization techniques without changing colour.
Typical Applications
PETG is used in a variety of signage, packaging, industrial and medical applications:
Point-of-sale displays Food Covers Glazing Machine Guards Electronics Medical packaging
Sheet sizes 1000mm x2 000mm and 1250mm x 2500mm. Sizes – Thicknesses of from ..5mm to 12mm.
Colour – Clear and Opal
HDPE Cleaner Skirt
HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)
HDPE is substantially more rigid than LDPE, which reduces its impact resistance – although its overall impact resistance is still considered good when compared with many other plastics. It has excellent chemical, moisture- and stain-resistance, and is approved for such food applications as cutting boards.
In thin gauges, HDPE can be vacuum and is an excellent material for plastic welding. Welded tanks are used extensively for fluid containment. Due to HDPE’s good chemical resistance, it is frequently used for chemical containment in metal plating operations.
Typical Applications
HDPE plastic is used for applications such as:
Cleaning machine skirts Fuel Tanks
Milk bottles
Laundry Detergent bottles
Trays Modern Hula Hoops
Cutting boards
Water Tanks
In theory, almost any thermoplastic material is formable, we currently mould many including:
