Plastic Fabrication

Although fabrication can be used to cover all aspects of plastic processing (including machining, turning etc), in this section we will be focusing on the other fabrication services we offer.

Plastics can be formed, welded and bent in much the same way as steels. These fabricating techniques allow designers to take advantage of plastic’s properties of corrosive resistance, finish, weight, Wi-Fi compatibility strength and clarity. We can also flame polish or buff suitable materials to enhance surface finish.

When it comes to joining plastic parts together, we can either use:-

  • Chemical bond – This provides excellent mechanical strength by “melting” the surfaces being bonded to create one cohesive part. MEK or methylene chloride are some of the more common chemicals used for bonding in this process. Ideal for clear materials such as acrylic and polycarbonate as well as ABS and HIPS
  • Structural bond – This process is often undertaken using a 2 part adhesive. Structural adhesive come in many different types for specific uses, enabling the bonding of many different plastics.
  • Welding – Welding uses a filler rod, similar to metal welding. The heat then melts the filler rod into the 2 plastic surfaces to be joined. Ideal for PVC, polypropylene, and polyethylene.
  • Mechanical fixings – These can be metal or plastic off-the-shelf fastenings. These can be simple nuts and bolts or screws into metal inserts which provide greater thread strength

Our understanding of the vast array of qualities available in modern plastics and the different processing techniques allows us to provide invaluable advice and find the most suitable and cost effective technique for your project. We actively source suitable environmentally-friendly options using recycled and recyclable plastics where possible.
