New England Molding
Materials & Resin Expertise
We process a wide range of engineering and commodity thermoplastic resins to meet the performance requirements of virtually any application. Whether your project requires custom color matching or pre-compounded materials, we have the flexibility to deliver consistent, high-quality results. Our experience spans everything from flexible materials such as TPEs and polyurethanes to glass-filled compounds and high-performance, high-temperature engineering resins.
To support efficient production, we stock a broad selection of commonly used resin grades and maintain relationships with multiple suppliers for many of the same materials. This approach helps us provide competitive pricing, reliable lead times, and a dependable supply chain. If you’re unsure which resin is best for your application, we leverage our extensive network of material suppliers and technical experts to help identify the optimal material based on your product’s performance, manufacturing, and cost requirements.
Material Selection Support
Pre-Compounded Resins
Resins We Process
Acetals (POM) excellent dimensional stability, low friction, high stiffness. Common in gears, bearings, fasteners.
Nylons (PA6, PA66, glass-filled) strong, heat-resistant, great wear properties. Used in structural and mechanical components.
Polyolefins (PP, PE) chemical resistance, flexibility, low cost. Ideal for containers, caps, consumer goods.
ABS rigid, impact-resistant, easy to process. Standard for housings, enclosures, consumer products.
Polycarbonate (PC) high impact strength, optical clarity, heat resistance. Used in lenses, enclosures, medical components.
TPE / Thermoplastic Elastomers rubber-like flexibility with thermoplastic processability. Over-molding, grips, seals.
Urethanes abrasion resistance, flexibility across a range of durometers. Functional components and over-molded surfaces.
High-performance engineering plastics PEEK, PPS, and other specialty resins for demanding thermal, chemical, or structural applications.
Glass-filled grades nylon, polycarbonate, and other resins enhanced with glass fiber for increased strength and stiffness.
One Resin We Do Not Process
New England Molding does not work with PVC due to safety and health considerations in our facility. If your design specifies PVC, our engineering team can recommend alternative materials that meet your performance requirements.
