Polypropylene stands out for its balance of strength, flexibility, and cost. It is used in packaging, textiles, automotive components, and technical parts. It is employed in many industrial sectors. 

 It is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.

Polypropylene Homopolymer

(PPHOMO)

is extensively used in injection molding processes for producing a variety of rigid and durable plastic products. It is commonly employed in packaging, automotive components, and consumer goods.

Polypropylene Copolymer

(PPCOP)

is often utilized in applications where improved impact resistance and transparency are required. Common uses include packaging, automotive components, and household items.

PE is one of the most widely used types of plastic in the world. It is characterized by its versatility, low cost, and ease of processing. It is a lightweight material, resistant to moisture, and with good chemical stability.

Thanks to these properties, polyethylene is used in a wide variety of products, from bags and packaging to pipes and industrial components.

Polyethylene is found in bottles, plastic films, packaging, and coatings.

Based on density and chemical properties, Polyethylene (PE) can be classified as HDPE, MDPE, LDPE and LLDPE.

 High-Density Polyethylene

(HDPE)

is widely employed in the production of a variety of products due to its high strength, chemical resistance, and versatility. Common applications include bottles, containers, pipes, and plastic lumber.

Medium-Density Polyethylene

(MDPE)

is commonly utilized for applications that require a balance between flexibility and strength. It is often used in the production of pipes, tubing, and various molded products.

Low-Density Polyethylene

(LDPE)

is widely employed for its flexibility and transparency. Common applications include plastic bags, shrink wrap, and various types of packaging.

Linear low-density polyethylene

(LLDPE)

is known for its excellent flexibility, toughness, and puncture resistance. It is widely used in the production of films, liners, and packaging materials.

Metallocene Linear Low-Density Polyethylene

is a specialized form of LLDPE produced using metallocene catalysts, offering enhanced properties such as greater strength and puncture resistance. It is commonly used in packaging films, trash bags, and other flexible applications. 

EVA is a soft, rubber-like plastic made by combining two chemical building blocks: ethylene (the same base molecule in polyethylene) and vinyl acetate. The ratio between these two components determines whether the final material behaves more like a flexible plastic or a spongy rubber. You encounter EVA constantly, from the foam midsoles in your running shoes to the protective layer inside solar panels. 

 EVA is generally considered one of the safer commodity plastics. It does not contain phthalates or BPA as part of its chemical structure, which distinguishes it from PVC and some other flexible plastics. This is one reason EVA has replaced PVC in many children’s products, craft supplies, and food-contact applications. 

 It is known for its excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and transparency. EVA is widely used in various industries due to its versatile properties. 

PET is one of the best-known types of plastic, used in bottles and containers. It is characterized by its transparency, mechanical strength, and recyclability.

Its use has become widespread, especially in the food and beverage industry.

PET offers good chemical resistance, lightness, and ease of recycling. Accordingly, it is used in beverage and food packaging, as well as in textile fibers, making it a key material in the circular economy.

PVC is one of the most widely used types of plastic in construction and industry. It can be rigid or flexible depending on the additives used. It is characterized by its corrosion resistance, durability, and good performance against chemical agents.

Thanks to these qualities, PVC is a key material in infrastructure and technical systems.

PVC is used in pipes, profiles, electrical cables, windows, flooring, and cladding. In the industrial sector, it allows the development of resistant, economical and long-lasting systems, adapted to multiple applications.

PS is a rigid, lightweight, and easily moldable material. It can be found in solid or expanded form, which broadens its range of uses.

It is one of the most commonly used types of plastic in containers, packaging, and disposable products.

Solid polystyrene is used in casings, utensils, and technical products. Expanded polystyrene, also known as foam, is used in thermal insulation and packaging due to its lightness and impact absorption capacity.

Polycarbonate (PC)

is a high-performance plastic known for its impact resistance and transparency. It is one of the most advanced types of plastic in terms of technical properties.

It is used in applications where high mechanical and optical resistance is required.

Widely used in technology and construction.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) 

is a strong, rigid, and easy-to-process plastic. It is used in products that require good impact resistance and dimensional stability.

It is one of the most common types of plastics in technological products.

Commonly found in appliance housings, toys, automotive parts, and electronic devices.

Nylon or Polyamide (PA)

is a synthetic plastic with high mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance. It is one of the most widely used types of plastic in industrial and textile applications.

It is characterized by its durability and resistance to friction.

It is used in gears, mechanical parts, textile fibers, ropes, and automotive components. 

Polyurethane (PU)

is a versatile material that can be rigid or flexible. It is used in foams, coatings, and adhesives, making it one of the most adaptable types of plastic.

Its chemical structure allows for obtaining materials with different densities and properties.

It is used in mattresses, thermal insulation, industrial coatings, and technical parts. Its ability to adapt to different shapes and functions makes it indispensable in many industries.

Polymethylmethacrylate 

(PMMA or Acrylic)

is a transparent plastic with excellent weather resistance. 

It is one of the most widely used types of plastic as an alternative to glass.
