Plastic Engineering

A Plastic Engineering Company Offering Quality, Reliability, Experience, Cost Efficiency and Repeatability. To begin, it is important to stress, Sentinel Plastics Ltd emphasis, and strength, is on the importance of being a Plastic Engineering Company that offers a comprehensive, Custom Engineering Plastic Component Parts. Thus, able to Manufacture customer specific Component Parts to customers exacting requirements.

Can all plastics be machined and fabricated?

Virtually, all Engineering and insulation Plastics can be Machine Fabricated. What is important, is an in-depth knowledge of the differences in how conducive the Engineering or Industrial Plastics are to being Machined. Most importantly, Sentinel have many years Experienced, having perfected techniques to do so.

How we Manufacture Engineering Plastic Parts:

CNC Lathes Turning Plastic

Commonly asked, can Industrial Engineering Plastics be Turned on a lathe? Similarly, as with Milling, most Plastics can be Machined into a quality precision Component Though, it takes an Experienced Engineering Plastic Company, as in this case Sentinel Plastics, to accurately Machine fabricate many of the variant forms. All of which can throw up their own complex problems.

For sure, Plastics Machining is inclined to lend itself better to solid, rigid, nonflexible Plastic materials. Such as Acetal, Polycarbonate, ABS, fibre reinforced thermosetting Plastics materials, reinforced Nylon, acrylic or PEEK all of which have good relative rigidity. For sure, less rigid Plastic can be Machined. Unfortunately, though, it tends to deform and bend away when the cutter attempts to cut the Component. Thus, making the achievement of a good finish and fine dimensional tolerances extremely difficult.

Customers can be assured, as Sentinel works solely with Plastic, they have a focus that gives an edge over its UK competitors. Certainly, those in the metal Machining. And, Companies who concentrate on specific types of Plastic material, do not have the broad capabilities that Sentinel does.

Examples of just some commonly Machined materials are Nylon 6, Cast Nylon, Nylatron MoS2, Glass filled Nylon, Polyester Glass, EM42, Tufnol®, HDPE, LDPE, PE1000, PE500, PTFE, Teflon, PVDF, Acetal, Delrin, Also Peek, Arnite, SRBP, SRBF, Polypropylene, Polycarbonate, Perspex and Epoxy Glass.

Simply put, knowledge! Knowledge gained by Experience. Secondly, dedication to customer requirements, client satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do.
