Forbest Plastik

Every industry asks something different of its raw material

The engine bay wants heat and oil resistance, a connector fire performance, packaging barrier and clarity, a façade UV resistance. Forbest Plastik supplies manufacturers in seven industries; below we list what each expects and the most requested material families with product links. If your industry is not listed, describe your application and the technical team will propose candidate families.

Automotive

Heat and oil resistance under the bonnet, surface quality and odour in the interior, UV and impact resistance on the exterior are decisive. Glass-fibre PA66 and PBT, mineral-filled PP, ASA and TPV are the core raw materials of this sector.

Most requested families

Electrical and electronics

Connectors, relays, coil formers and housings need electrical insulation, flame retardancy (UL94 V-0) and dimensional stability. Flame-retardant PBT and PA grades, PPS, LCP, polycarbonate and PPE meet this need.

Most requested families

Appliances and small domestic appliances

Visible panels need a glossy, scratch-resistant surface, internal parts hot-water and detergent resistance, mechanisms lubricity. ABS, HIPS, PP, POM, PBT and TPE are the standard materials of this sector.

Most requested families

Packaging

Clarity, barrier and heat sealing matter in film, bottles and closures; impact and deep draw in thermoforming. PE and PP grades, PET, PETG, EVOH, SBC and masterbatch are the daily raw materials of packaging converters.

Most requested families

Construction and building

Profiles, pipes and sheet need UV and weather resistance, dimensional stability and fire performance. PVC, ASA, polycarbonate and PMMA sheet, PPR and HDPE pipe raw materials form the base of this group.

Most requested families

Furniture and consumer goods

Chairs, fittings, toys and household goods need impact toughness, colour consistency and soft touch. PP, ABS, PA6, POM, TPE and masterbatch are the raw materials of these products.

Most requested families

Agriculture and irrigation

Drip irrigation, greenhouse film and farm equipment require UV resistance, flexibility and chemical resistance. LLDPE and LDPE, HDPE, PP, EVA, SAP and UV masterbatch are the main inputs of this sector.
