Plastics, Rubber & Gasket materials

Industrial Plastics include technical materials, semi-finished products and custom components for industrial applications. ERIKS supplies more than 100 plastic types in forms such as sheet, rod, tube and film and processes them into application-specific parts.

Technical plastic is selected for its characteristic material properties and supplied as a standard form or finished product. The range includes high-performance, glass-fibre-reinforced and transparent plastics. ERIKS combines material advice, co-engineering, machining, thermal processing and mould-based production techniques.

Industrial plastics are used in chemical environments, machine guarding, food-processing installations and high-grade applications requiring cleanroom packaging. Product forms include sheets, rods, tubes, film, profiles, hollow bars, strip material, wire, gratings and stair treads.

First define the mechanical, chemical, optical or hygienic properties required by the application. Then select the plastic type and standard form, such as sheet, rod, tube or film. Specify whether machining, thermal forming, mould production, assembly, cleanroom cleaning or packaging to applicable requirements is needed.

Key attributes are plastic type, material properties, standard form, dimensions, processing route, series size and any requirements for GMP, EC 1935/2004, cleanroom cleaning or packaging.

Frequently asked questions

ERIKS supplies industrial plastics in forms including sheet, rod, tube and film. The product overview also includes profiles, hollow bars, strip material, wire and welding rod, glass-fibre cloth, gratings, strips, stair treads and safety gates.

Select high-performance industrial plastics where the required material properties cannot be achieved with a standard plastic. Assess the application, product properties and required form and, where needed, process the material into an application-specific component.

ERIKS identifies fully machined ERIFOOD products that comply with EC 1935/2004 and GMP. Check which material, processing method and cleaning or packaging requirements apply to the specific use.

ERIKS makes components according to material properties and application specifications. Production routes include machining, thermal processing, additive manufacturing and mould-based production such as injection moulding, blow moulding, thermoplastic foam moulding and rotational moulding.
