What types of materials does Plastic Concepts work with?

At Plastic Concepts, we specialize in a wide range of high-quality materials known for their durability, resistance, and adaptability. Here are the primary materials we work with:

  • Polypropylene (PP): Non-corrosive, resistant to most chemicals and solvents, and ideal for high-purity environments.
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Affordable, versatile, and corrosion-resistant, commonly used for fume hoods and ducting systems.
  • PVDF (Kynar®): High-purity plastic used for sensitive applications in semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Acrylic (Plexiglass):Transparent, strong, and lightweight, perfect for enclosures and protective barriers.
  • Teflon (PTFE): Extreme chemical resistance, ideal for harsh lab processes.
  • Polycarbonate (Lexan):Impact-resistant and durable, often used for protective shields.
  • Delrin (Acetal):High mechanical strength, suitable for precision parts.

As a specialized custom fabrication company there is no build that we can’t support. The goal is always to first listen to your need and develop a solution for your specific requirements.

It’s all about understanding your process. Below are the questions we will ask.

  • What are the chemicals you will be working with?
  • Will you require frequent wash downs of the product (CIP or SIP)?
  • Are you working in a sterile environment?
  • Do you require purity of samples?

The answer to these questions will determine the best materials used and will be discussed with you by our team of experts.

It’s first and foremost about the customer. We always take great attention to detail to understand the process and the solution the customer is looking for. We are not looking for high-throughput volume, but rather customers that last a lifetime with products that deliver. Beyond the product is the support that we offer. All our customers can always rely on the PCI team being available to support whatever needs may arise.
