Materials

EPS styrofoam

EPS, Airpop or Styrofoam (which is the tradename used for EPS by the Dow chemical company) is a hard foam with a closed cell structure.

PU/PIR

PU or polyurethane is a thermosetting polymer (meaning that it is not re-useable, because the structure is chemically altered, hence it does not melt to its raw material but chars).

XPS

XPS stands for eXtruded PolyStyrene. XPS is also referred to as polystyrene insulation foam.

LDPE / EPP

EPE (or expanded polyethylene) and EPP (of expanded polypropylene) are light and flexible foams, that offer very good shock-absorption (what makes them ideal for shock resisting packaging).

Raku-tool

Raku-tool is a ureole foam (a sort of heavy polyurethane) which is perfect for milling visual models and prototypes because of his hardness and smooth surface (comparable with MDF).

Impact-resistant PS

Impact-resistant polystyrene (PS) is a thermopolymers that can be easily formed and folded by means of heat.

Impact-resistant PP

PP is a thermopolymers characterised by high impact resistance and a wide temperature range.

Other

To make your products, Twinplast uses different foams, both hard and soft, and solid polymerss like: polyisocyanurate (PIR), Polyethylene (PE), Polyoxymethylene (POM), EVA, MDF, but also in other materials we can mill your products.
