About Materials:

Kintz Plastics works with a wide range of thermoplastics. The optimal material for a part can be determined by looking at cost, performance and appearance factors.
Kintz Plastics keeps current on developments of new materials for thermoforming to insure that our customers get the very latest technology to suit their needs.

Selecting a Material:

There are many factors that go into the selection of the best Material for your application. The Kintz Plastics' design and engineering team can recommend a material based on these factors:
• Rigid or flexible
Does the part need to be stiff and rigid or have some flexibility?
• Appearance
How important is appearance compared to strength, weight, durability and use?
• Cost
Do you need the least expensive part or are other factors important?
• Finish Options
Will the part be painted or can a material be used that has the desired color and surface so no painting is required? Also will text or graphics be printed on the part?
• Conductivity
Should the part be non-conductive, as most materials are, or should a conductive coating be used?
• Compatibility
What other material does the part come in contact?
• Weight
Different Materials have different densities. Is weight a factor over strength or appearance?
