Engineering Plastics Supplier – A Huge Depth of Knowledge

Especially relevant is that customers know Sentinel Plastics is a long standing, trusted Plastics Company. Since its inception in 1989, it has been machining and fabricating all types of industrial plastics. Whether your requirement is one off or high batch work, the capacity available does enable us to offer shorter lead times. The quick turnaround times combined with quotes, which are in the main supplied on the same day as requested, is one reason many customers constantly return to Sentinel for all their plastics companies machined and fabricated parts requirements.

Sentinel has trained many of its CNC Programming staff in house which gives a better focus and knowledge on the special requirements of each individual type of industrial plastics. The product of having long term staff base, results in a high depth of knowledge throughout the whole manufacturing process. Probably as a result of having a very low turnover of staff. Customers from the Conveyor Manufacture to the high tech world of underwater exploration use Sentinels skilled staff to gain benefits, including cost saving and problem solving during the design process.

Well-established Engineering Plastics Supplier

Also Sentinels Plastics precision machining service is supplied to UK companies and across the world. In addition our first rate facilities and constant striving for excellence, gives our customers confidence in the parts that we supply. Hence they have come back year after year, some for over 25 years. Most noteworthy as a well-established Engineering Plastics Supplier CNC machining and Plastic fabrication company based in Cradley Heath in the West Midlands. Sentinel Plastics Ltd has an already large customer base, which includes many long term blue chip customers.

Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, PVC, polypropylene and polyethylene). plastic machined parts.

A little more on Engineering Plastics

The term usually refers to thermoplastic materials rather than thermosetting ones. Examples of engineering plastics include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for car bumpers, dashboard trim and Lego bricks; polycarbonates, used in motorcycle helmets; and polyamides (nylons), used for skis and ski boots.

Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as wood or metal in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in weight/strength and other properties. Engineering plastics are much easier to manufacture, especially in complicated shapes.
