Have you seen our engineering plastics properties chart?
Our engineering plastics properties chart for engineers has been widely distributed over the years. A simple, easy to understand visual reference point.
Our chart covers materials such as UHMWPE, HDPE, Cast Nylon, Extruded Nylon, Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Acetal POM-C, Polyester PETP, PTFE Teflon, PEEK, PVC, Polypropylene PP and Polycarbonate PC.
Our range of engineering plastic materials
With such a large stock holding of engineering plastics, engineering plastic products and industrial composites right here in Auckland, we have broken our range of materials into the following categories.
High Performance Plastic Materials
Our premium range of high performance amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastics and imidised materials are capable of long-term thermal stability up to 260°C. Some to 300°C with short term bursts up to 400°C.
Our selection includes PTFE, PEEK, PVDF, PSU, PPSU, PEI, PPS, PBI, PAI, and PI materials from leading international manufacturers. These materials generally offer the highest strength and stiffness, plus water, steam and chemical resistance.Â
All materials are available in a range of modified grades.

Engineering Plastic Materials
Our range of amorphous or semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics are generally suitable for applications up to 120°C. Engineering plastic products tend to be of medium cost, with moderate temperature resistance, mid-range strength, and exhibit good impact and chemical resistance.
Our selection encompasses cast and extruded Nylons PA6 and PA66, Acetal POM, PBT, PET and Polycarbonates. Additionally, modified grades of all engineering plastics products are available.

Standard Plastic Materials
Our range of standard plastic materials are referred to as commodity plastics. These materials are either amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastics which are generally low cost, have low temperature resistance, low strength, but are widely used across many New Zealand industries in applications up to 90°C.
Our range encompasses different thicknesses and colours of UHMWPE, HMWPE, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, ABS, PPE, Acrylic, Polyurethane and Polypropylene.
Composite and Laminate Materials
Manufactured from various base resins such as phenolic, epoxy, melamine, silicone and polyester. Then combined with various layers of reinforcing using paper, cotton, glass matting or other high performance fabrics incorporating carbon fiber or Kevlar, they create a diverse range of materials to suit many industrial applications.
From electrical switchboards to ocean-going ships’ stern tube and rudder bearings, we have the composite to keep your operation moving. Available in rod tube sheet.
Specialty Materials
Specialty materials are generally intended for a specific purpose and may come with a particular surface finish or an internal modification. We stock a large range of these materials and can also machine them to your requirements.
Applications for specialty materials cover food cutting boards, play grounds, pleasure boat parts, signage boards, privacy partitions, light-weight panels for automotive, skate board ramps and much more! Please contact us for further technical information and availability.
Non-Skid or Anti-Skid Products
Non-skid or anti-skid sheeting products make slippery areas safer. Our range of non-skid sheeting suits heavy-duty applications where machinery needs traction, and where corrosion and chemicals may limit the effectiveness or life of other non-skid products.
Typical application sectors include the military, oil & gas, diving platforms, marina’s and pleasure boats. If it needs to be tough, we have products to suit.
