Industrial & fabrication
ABS · PP · HIPS
General fabrication and thermoforming sheet across three workhorse polymers.
These three cover most general fabrication and forming work. ABS forms and glues well and takes a good finish, which suits housings and vacuum-formed parts. Polypropylene is the chemically resistant one — tanks, ducting, laboratory fittings. HIPS is the economical vacuum-forming sheet for packaging and light display.
The right pick usually comes down to the forming process and what the part has to resist, rather than the drawing. Tell us both and we will point you at the one that costs you least trouble.
