Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces.
With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.

Sheet & Film—Sheets and films made of PET are another major use case.
PET sheets can be used to make a variety of plastic products and film is often used for tape backing, plastic wrap, medical packaging, and protective coating on windows.

Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications.
Each type of thermoplastic has unique qualities and characteristics that make it appropriate for use in a particular application.
Further performance can be delivered through an engineered thermoplastic sheet or thick film, which may incorporate more than one resin formulation or composite in multiple layers to impart additional properties such as gas barrier, structural integrity and lightweighting.
