High-Performance Resins for Engineering and Manufacturing

At Vital Plastics, we process a wide range of commodity and engineering-grade resins, ensuring optimal performance for your applications. Whether you need cost-effective materials for mass production or high-performance polymers for demanding environments, we provide the right solution.

Commodity-Grade Resins

Designed for versatility and cost-efficiency, these resins serve industries from automotive to consumer goods:

• Polypropylene (PP) – Lightweight, flexible, and heat-resistant. Ideal for packaging, automotive parts, medical supplies, and consumer products.
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – Rigid, durable, and resistant to environmental degradation. Common in plumbing, flooring, windows, doors, and electrical insulation.
• Polyethylene (PE) – Flexible and moisture-resistant, available as LDPE and HDPE. Found in plastic bags, bottles, toys, and piping.
• Polycarbonate (PC) – Heat-resistant and impact-resistant with optical clarity. Used in electronics, construction, automotive, aircraft, and security applications.
• Polysulfone (PSU), polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), and polyethersulfone (PES) – These polymers are widely applied in the medical device industry, food industry (FDA-approved), and as electrical insulation. They offer excellent mechanical and thermal properties, resistance to steam and various chemicals, transparency, dimensional stability, and high processability through injection molding.

Engineering-Grade Resins

For applications demanding high strength, durability, and thermal stability, we offer:

• Acetal (POM) – High mechanical strength and low friction. Perfect for precision parts like gears, bearings, and automotive components.
• Nylon (PA) – Strong, elastic, and abrasion-resistant. Essential for automotive fasteners, industrial parts, and textiles.
• PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) – Withstands extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals. Used in aerospace, automotive, and medical applications.

Custom Color Matching – Precision & Cost Efficiency

At Vital Plastics, we offer thousands of colorant options to meet your exact specifications, ensuring consistency and precision in every part.

We provide two approaches to adding color to your resin:

• Pre-mixed resin – We can source pre-colored material from suppliers, ensuring a perfect match but at a higher cost.
• In-line color blending at the press – A more cost-effective alternative that maintains accuracy while reducing material costs. We use Moretto blenders, top-of-the-line auxiliary equipment, capable of precisely mixing colorant down to the hundredths of a percent. This guarantees consistent color matching to approved samples while optimizing efficiency in production.
  

By leveraging advanced blending technology, we deliver high-quality, consistent coloration while keeping costs competitive. Whether you require a Pantone match, a color plaque reference, or a part print specification, we ensure precision at every step.
