What plastic materials are commonly used in furniture products

2023 11/06

ABS: Commonly known as engineering plastic, it can be used for connectors, seat backs, and seat panels. It is the main raw material in plastic that can be electroplated (water plated).
PP: Commonly known as polypropylene, used for five-star feet, armrests, foot pads, and connectors with low strength requirements. Disadvantages: Poor wear resistance and low surface hardness.
PVC: Commonly known as polyvinyl chloride, mainly used for edge sealing and insertion conditions. It is suitable for extrusion molding, and PVC material is a non combustible material in plastic parts, which has poor temperature stability during processing and molding, especially in terms of color stability.
PU: Commonly known as polyurethane. Mainly used for armrest (foam) accessories.
POM: Commonly known as Saigang. Mainly used for wear-resistant parts such as foot mats, casters, door hinges, hinges, etc. Performance is wear-resistant, pressure resistant, but dimensional stability is poor.
PA: Commonly known as nylon. Mainly used as foot pads, five-star claws, casters, and other wear-resistant and high service life requirements. Features: Wear resistant, pressure resistant, high strength, long indoor service life. Some models, such as PA66, can withstand high temperatures up to 2200. The disadvantages are that it is easy to change performance, break, and have poor weather resistance when exposed to the sun.
PMMA: Organic glass (commonly known as acrylic). There are five transparent materials in plastic, and PMMA is one of them with the highest transparency. When cutting the workpiece, it has a sour taste and is easy to deform during processing. Soaking it in boiling water can shape and bend it. Disadvantages: The surface is easy to scratch, the hardness is low, and it is easy to crack when bent. The price is more than 20% higher than ABS.
PC: Commonly known as polycarbonate. This variety is also a transparent material with high surface hardness, scratch resistance, strong impact resistance, high strength, and good weather resistance (i.e., it is not afraid of sunlight). The screen partition and sunlight board in furniture are hollow extruded from this material. Features: High price and cost, about 40% higher than PMMA.
