Polymer types we source
Twelve polymer families covering virtually every European industrial application, from commodity polyolefins to specialty engineering plastics and recycled grades.
Polypropylene
PPVersatile commodity polyolefin. Highest European production volume after PE. Homopolymer, random and impact copolymer grades cover injection, extrusion, fiber, film.
High-Density Polyethylene
HDPELinear polyethylene with density above 0.941 g/cm³. Used for blow-molded bottles, pressure pipes, and rigid containers.
Low-Density Polyethylene
LDPEBranched polyethylene polymerised under high pressure. Excellent clarity and softness for blown films and extrusion coating.
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene
LLDPECopolymer of ethylene with butene, hexene or octene. Higher tensile and tear strength than LDPE; dominant in stretch and food film.
Medium-Density Polyethylene
MDPEStiffer and more pressure-resistant than LDPE. Common in gas distribution pipe and industrial film.
Rigid PVC
PVC-UUnplasticised polyvinyl chloride. Used in window profiles, pressure pipe, and rigid sheet. Suspension grades dominate Europe.
Flexible PVC
PVC-PPlasticised PVC compounds. Cable sheathing, flooring, hoses and medical tubing. Compound formulation matters as much as the resin.
Polyethylene Terephthalate
PETSaturated polyester. Bottle-grade, fiber and thermoforming sheet. rPET adoption mandated by PPWR for beverage packaging.
General-Purpose Polystyrene
GPPSCrystal-clear amorphous styrenic. Brittle but optically excellent. Disposable cutlery, cosmetics packaging, optical applications.
High-Impact Polystyrene
HIPSPolystyrene toughened with polybutadiene rubber. Sheet thermoforming, appliance liners, dairy packaging.
ABS
ABSTerpolymer combining acrylonitrile rigidity, butadiene toughness and styrene processability. Automotive trim, electronics housings, appliances.
Recycled Polyolefins
rPE / rPPMechanically recycled HDPE, LDPE and PP from post-consumer and post-industrial sources. PCR, PIR and food-grade decontaminated streams.
