Family 04ABS · PC · PA · POM · PBT

Engineering Plastics.

Where commodity polymers stop, these begin.

Engineering plastics buy you what commodity polyolefins cannot — dimensional stability at temperature, optical clarity, fatigue endurance, glass-fibre reinforcement, flame retardancy. ABS for chrome-plateable consumer electronics, PC for unbreakable lenses, PA and POM for precision mechanics, PBT for electrical connectors. We trade colours, fillers, and tailored compounds across all major suppliers.

Applications

What it becomes

Where EP ends up.

Every line below traces a real, high-volume application we facilitate. No category we cannot quote.

Automotive lighting

Polycarbonate headlight lenses, lamp housings, and reflector substrates — optical clarity, dimensional stability, heat tolerance.

Consumer electronics

ABS and PC/ABS blends for laptop chassis, phone housings, and appliance shells. Surface finish, impact, scratch resistance.

Gears & mechanical parts

POM and PA66 for precision gears, bearings, sliders, and mechanical sub-assemblies. Low friction, fatigue endurance.

Medical devices

Medical-grade PC and PSU for inhalers, dialysis components, surgical instruments. Sterilisable, biocompatible.

Connectors & sockets

Glass-filled PA, PBT, and LCP for electrical connectors, terminal blocks, and high-voltage isolators.

Industrial housings

Flame-retardant PC/ABS and PPE blends for telecoms equipment, industrial controls, and power-tool bodies.
