General-Purpose Plastics
General-purpose plastics are the high-volume raw materials of everyday production, from packaging to appliances, construction to toys. In this group Forbest Plastik supplies ABS, ASA, SAN, polycarbonate, polystyrene grades, PMMA, polyethylene and polypropylene grades, PVC, PET, PETG and speciality polymers such as EVOH, COC, PVA and SAP. Injection, extrusion and blow-moulding grades of the same family differ in flow and impact balance, so stating your process and part thickness in the quote request lets us propose the right grade the first time.
