Comprehensive Material Solutions for the Trade Moulding Industry
The trade moulding sector is one of the most diverse and dynamic segments in the plastics industry, encompassing the manufacturing of an extensive array of products and components across various industries. From consumer goods to industrial parts, trade moulders are responsible for producing high-quality, precise plastic parts through processes like injection moulding. Abbey Polymers plays a vital role in supporting trade moulders with a comprehensive range of engineering polymers and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that meet the wide-ranging demands of this versatile sector.
Meeting the Diverse Needs of Trade Moulders
With over 20 years of experience in sourcing and supplying polymers, Abbey Polymers understands the unique challenges faced by trade moulders, who must cater to a broad spectrum of industries, including automotive, electronics, medical, and packaging, among others. Our extensive portfolio of materials, including PA6, PA66, PBT, PC, and POM, as well as flexible compounds like TPU and TPE, ensures that trade moulders have access to the right materials for their specific applications. We offer flexible order sizes, from small lots starting at 25kgs to several tonnes, accommodating projects of all scales. Whether producing precision components for high-performance industries or general consumer products, our materials deliver the mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability required for successful manufacturing.
Versatility & Performance in Moulding Applications
Injection moulding remains the core process for trade moulders, allowing for the mass production of complex and detailed plastic components. Abbey Polymers offers a wide variety of polymers that are suitable for a broad range of injection moulding applications, from small, intricate parts to large, structural components. Our materials are chosen for their versatility, consistency, and performance, ensuring that trade moulders can meet the exacting requirements of their clients across multiple industries.
For trade moulders operating in sectors where safety and compliance are critical, such as electronics or automotive, Abbey Polymers supplies specialised flame-retardant compounds from our partners, including Vamp Tech Spa. These materials are designed to meet the strict safety standards required in high-risk applications, providing enhanced protection against fire hazards without compromising on mechanical performance. Additionally, our range of electrostatic semi-conductive (ESD) compounds helps to protect sensitive electronic components from static discharge, a key consideration for moulders serving the electronics industry.
Advanced Flexible Materials for Moulding
Abbey Polymers also offers a range of flexible materials, including TPUs and TPEs, which are ideal for producing soft-touch components, seals, gaskets, and other products that require a combination of flexibility, resilience, and durability. As the exclusive distributor of Kraiburg TPE and COIM TPU in the UK, we provide trade moulders with access to some of the most advanced flexible materials available, ensuring superior performance across a wide range of applications.
