Technopolymers
Technopolymers are polymers with high physical-mechanical characteristics: stiffness, toughness, ductility, resistance to high temperatures, to static and dynamic loads and to aging. Their performances are such that they are used for metal replacement. The main fields of application range from the medical to the food sector, from industrial to automotive, from household appliances to electrical / electronic.
PM
It is a semi-crystalline material with excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance and low water absorption. Can be used for manufacturing technical items such as gears, springs, screws, handles, zippers, clamps, fuel pumps, inhalers, furniture slide rails
PA 6
They are molding compounds based on Nylon 66 (Ultramid A), Nylon 6 (Ultramid B).
These materials are characterized by excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, good resistance to low temperatures, abrasion and high chemical resistance.
They are widely used in the automotive, electrical / electronic, sports and household sectors.
They are available in a reinforced version (glass fiber and mineral filler), non-reinforced and with additives of flame retardants.
PA 6/6

They are widely used in the automotive, electrical / electronic, sports and household sectors.
They are available in a reinforced version (glass fiber and mineral filler), non-reinforced and with additives of flame retardants.
PBT
This line is based on polybutylene terephthalate and is widely used for technical applications in various industrial sectors.
These materials are characterized by high stiffness and strength, great dimensional stability, low water absorption, excellent chemical and aging resistance.
Polysulfones
Ultrason resins are amorphous thermoplastic materials derived from polyethersulfone (PESU), polysulfone (PSU) and polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU).
They are characterized by good mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and are also available in a glass fiber reinforced version. They can be used in those applications where other technopolymers do not allow to achieve the desired performance.
ABS
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is an amorphous polymer produced by emulsion or mass polymerization of acrylonitrile and styrene in the presence of polybutadiene.
The styrene monomer gives the ABS good processability, the acrylonitrile the rigidity and thermal and chemical resistance, while the butadiene makes the product more tenacious and resilient, even at low temperatures. By changing the proportions of the ABS components and adding specific additives, different grades with particular properties can be produced.
This material is characterized by high toughness and impact resistance and is used in sectors such as: cars, appliances, toys, furniture and household items.
SAN
SAN is an amorphous copolymer of styrene with acrylonitrile, with a content of the latter varying from 20 to 30%. This material is mainly used in applications where additional chemical resistance and slightly higher temperature resistance than crystal polystyrene is required. SAN is a transparent material with a natural tint tending to yellow, but it is also available in different shades of blue or transparent glass and is widely used in the cosmetics, household appliances, furniture, household and office equipment sectors.
MABS
It is a transparent material, with good impact resistance, with an excellent aesthetic appearance and easy to transform, consisting of ABS and methyl methacrylate. It is used in the cosmetics, toys, household appliances and medical sectors.
It can be used as an alternative to MBS, when a better chemical resistance to heat is required.
SBC
The styrene-butadiene copolymers are materials consisting of the alternation of polystyrene and polybutadiene blocks obtained by anionic polymerization. The relationship between the two phases determines the properties of the material, the styrene component determines transparency and rigidity while the butadiene part improves toughness and impact resistance. They find application in the packaging, medical and office items sectors.
ASA
It is a copolymer of acrylonitrile, styrene, acrylate with excellent chemical resistance, UV rays and heat, characteristics that make it suitable for outdoor applications in the construction, automotive and electronic sectors.
PC / ASA
It is a blend consisting of Polycarbonate and Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate copolymer, characterized by high aesthetic quality, excellent resistance to impact, heat and aging that make it the ideal choice for automotive applications, both indoors and outdoors. .
SMMA
It is a copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate particularly suitable for applications that require great rigidity, high transparency and scratch resistance and is also characterized by good thermal stability and moderate chemical resistance. It can be used as an alternative to SAN or PC in cosmetics, food and household appliances.
MBS
It is a copolymer consisting of methyl methacrylate, butadiene and styrene characterized by good impact resistance, excellent transparency and easy processability. It is used in the toys, household appliances, medical and packaging sectors.
PA / ABS
Polyamide / ABS blend characterized by excellent chemical and impact resistance, excellent dimensional stability, acoustic damping, Matt finish and easily processable. Thanks to these properties, it is used in both the automotive and household appliances sectors
PA / ASA
Polyamide / ASA blend characterized by excellent chemical and impact resistance, excellent dimensional stability, acoustic damping, Matt finish and easily processable. Thanks to these properties, it is used in both the automotive and household appliances sectors
PC
Polycarbonate is an amorphous polymer characterized by a unique combination of toughness, optical transparency, stiffness, mechanical strength and excellent electrical properties.
It also has good UV stability, which can be further improved with the addition of stabilizers.
