Polypropylene CNC Service

What Is Our Polypropylene CNC Service?

At Istar Machining, we turn tough plastic called polypropylene (PP) into exactly the parts you need. Our machines cut the plastic with super high accuracy to make parts for many different jobs. If you need parts that can handle chemicals, won’t break easily, and don’t cost too much, our service is perfect for you!

We use big computer-controlled machines (called CNC machines) to cut the plastic into the exact shape you want. These machines are so exact they can make parts as small as a penny or as big as a car door!

Types of Polypropylene We Use

We work with different kinds of polypropylene to match what you need:

• Homopolymer PP – Very stiff and good with chemicals
• Copolymer PP – Stronger when cold and doesn’t break as easily
• Glass-Filled PP – Has tiny glass fibers inside to make it super strong (20% glass)

These materials can be made into parts up to 48 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. If you need something bigger, just ask us! We can make that happen too.

Why Pick Polypropylene for Your Parts?

Polypropylene is awesome for many reasons:

1. Fights Off Chemicals – It won’t get damaged by acids, cleaning products, or oils
2. Super Light – It’s 30% lighter than acrylic but still very strong
3. Special Hinges – It can bend back and forth many times without breaking
4. Saves Money – Costs less than metal or other fancy plastics

This is why so many businesses choose our precision CNC machining service for their polypropylene parts!

What Can We Make With Polypropylene?

How Exact Are Our Polypropylene Parts?
