At ARK Plastics LLC we are proud to offer reliable, high-quality consumer products at an exceptional value.
ARK Plastics LLC currently processes over 100,000 pounds of plastics annually.
We have the capabilities to produce parts from many different types of engineered thermoplastics.
Below is a list of some of the most common types of plastics that we currently mold.
Polyethylene
This is the most widely used plastic. Its uses include toys, lids, buckets, containers. One third of all toys are made out of polyethylene.
Polystyrene
Pure solid polystyrene is a colorless, hard plastic. This type of plastic has limited flexibility and can be cast into molds with fine detail. Polystyrene is used in disposable cutlery, CD cases, alarm housings and toy models.
Polypropylene
Heat resistance is one of the features of polypropylene. Because of this heat resistance, typical applications include food containers that will not melt in the dishwasher and medical items that can withstand the heat in an autoclave. Other uses include cups, containers, housewares and automotive batteries.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
This is a common plastic used to make lightweight rigid products such as automotive body parts, wheel covers, protective head gear, kitchen appliances and toys. ABS features include good shock absorbance, impact resistance and toughness properties.
Nylon
Low to medium stress components such as machine screw. gears and parts that were previously cast in metal. Characteristics of nylon include high durability, excellent abrasion resistance, variations of luster, and high resistance to insects, molds mildew, rot and many chemicals.
