Our plastic products

The most frequent uses are as a component of yoghurt tubs, in containers for dairy products such as milk or cheese, in meat trays served in supermarkets, in cartons containing eggs, as plastic cutlery whether disposable or not, as part of the protective packaging of toys and electronic material, as an effective insulator, as a container lid, in cups and bottles, in tape cassettes (compact cassette), in compact discs (CD), in toys and in showers.

The acrylonitrile blocks are those that provide the properties of rigidity, resistance to possible chemical aggressions, stability against high temperatures and their characteristic hardness. These attributions are highly valued in the industrial sector, especially to be part of heavy equipment or electronic systems.

Los bloques del elastómero butadieno son los que otorgan su característica más destacada de tenacidad frente a cualquier temperatura, ya sea alta o baja, manteniéndose tenaz incluso a 40 grados centígrados (celsius) bajo cero. Esta propiedad resulta muy apreciada, sobretodo, en ambientes fríos, donde la mayoría de los materiales plásticos pierden su dureza y se vuelven quebradizos. Los bloques de estireno son los que aportan sus características de resistencia mecánica y particular rigidez.

The blocks of butadiene elastomer are those that give their outstanding characteristic of tenacity against any temperature, either high or low, remaining tenacious even at 40 degrees Celsius (Celsius) below zero. This property is very appreciated, especially in cold environments, where most plastic materials lose their hardness and become fragile. The styrene blocks are those that provide their characteristics of mechanical strength and particular rigidity.

The union of all these features is called synergy, because the resulting final product contains even better properties than the sum of the characteristics separately. It is hard and rigid, its chemical resistance is more than acceptable, it has good dimensional stability due to its low water absorption, it has a high resistance to abrasion, and in addition, it can be easily coated with a metal layer. It is also used in alloys with other plastics, with their union to transmit part of their properties. For example, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is combined with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to achieve a plastic with greater resistance to flame, highly valued in the construction of televisions. And you can also add Polytetrafluorostylene (PTFE) to lower your final coefficient of friction.

Among its most common uses, we find ABS plastic in the covers of lawn mowers in the garden, in the boxes that wrap medicines, in compressors, in nebulizers, in home vacuum cleaners, in razors, in the refrigerator coatings at home, in the panels that control some devices, on the rear light boxes of the cars, in the wheel rims, in the vehicle’s ailerons, as part of the safety belts for driving, in seats of means of transport, in the coverings of the doors and the handles, in the television sets, in the sanitary piping industry, in the casings of all types of household appliances, mobile and fixed telephones, and computers, in the suitcases and even in the protective sports helmets.

Among its most common uses is in household items such as cutlery, plates and glasses, bottles of fruit or milk juices, bleach bottles, cleaners and almost all shampoos, detergent and chlorine containers, lids for food containers, bulk industrial containers, waste containers, ice boxes, fuel tanks, toys, in fabric manufacturing, networks that pack fruits and vegetables, gas pipes, water, sewage, drainage, sea drains, industrial applications, protection of cables and steel tubes coating, film for greenhouses and other typically agricultural uses, sacks and bags of plastic and also power wire sheets and for telecommunications.

It is widely used in the building construction sector because it is cheap, long-lasting and very easy to assemble. In windows and doors, as thermal insulation, in pipes, in the cable sheathing and in insulation. It is also widely used in the transport sector, in packaging, in tubes for medical use, flanges, cuvettes, cable glands, pumps, valves, seals, caps or synthetic leather products.

It is usually used in the mechanics and automotive sector. In geared-wheels as transmission components, in carburetor components, as part of the contact pump with hot water or fuel, in the mixer taps, the valves or also the shower heads. In general, they replace precision metal parts such as precision gear wheels, ski bindings, safety systems, knife handles or ball bearings.

Some of its most valued features are its high resistance to both corrosion and wear. It is an effective barrier against gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), dampness or oxygen (O2). It has very good slip coefficient. It is transparent and crystalline, but at the same time admits some colorants. It is compatible with other materials that can also act as a protective barrier, increasing the overall quality and strength of the container. It is very light. It is also inert to the content. It has a high rigidity and also hardness. High chemical resistance. Considerable thermal properties, showing deformation endurance under great heat conditions.

In architecture, it is used in the roofs and vertical enclosures of industrial buildings and pavilions. In agriculture, it is used as a cover for greenhouses. It is also present in photography, cinema and lighting. It is part of computers, typewriters, pens and even rulers. It is the raw material for manufacturing CDs and DVDs. It is found in traffic signs, and is even used as a pastry mold for the production of chocolates and chocolate figures.

Among its best-known industrial applications, there are those as parts of bushings, skids, pumps, pinions, rollers and sprockets.
