Standard thermoplastics

Standard thermoplastics are economical and versatile, and include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS). You can use these plastics for universal injection moulding and additive processing.

Benefits at a glance

Cost-effective

Since they are produced in large quantities, standard thermoplastics are comparatively simple and cost-effective to process.

Malleable

In conventional injection moulding and industrial additive manufacturing, you can work with a wide variety of materials.

Recyclable

Products made of thermoplastic can be recycled after use and the recyclate obtained industrially (PIR) or from end-user waste (PCR) can be returned to the material cycle.

Versatile

Depending on the material chosen, thermoplastics can be soft and flexible, but also dimensionally stable. They are suitable for overmoulding cables or producing "hard" water pipes, for example.
