Materials for Custom Plastic Parts
Dielectric Manufacturing has a wide variety of thermosets and thermoplastics available to fabricate custom plastic parts. With our extensive knowledge of plastics, we’ll make sure the optimal material is selected for plastic machining of your part.
We have been providing plastic fabrication for more than 50 years. With that level of experience as a contract manufacturer of plastic parts, we have the knowledge and equipment needed to provide precision components to meet your exact needs.
Search the DM Knowledge Base for Plastic Materials and Their Properties, Including the Electrical Insulating Properties of Thermosets. Then, talk to us about your specific custom plastics needs.
Thermoset Materials
Thermoset materials are commonly used for electrical insulation, as the material cannot be melted once the shape is created. A chemical reaction takes place during the manufacturing process, creating the permanently-hard nature of the material. These plastics are not recyclable.Click on any material to learn about its properties.

Thermoplastic Materials
Thermoplastic materials are available with various durometer hardness; the finished part can be very hard and strong or soft and pliable like rubber. Many of these materials can provide thermal and electrical insulation. Thermoplastics can be re-formed once the shape is manufactured, as the material experiences physical and not chemical change. Thus, parts made with thermoplastics are recyclable.Click on any material to see its properties.
