Plastic Application & Resin Selection Guide

Every molded part starts with the same question in reverse: not which resin a supplier happens to stock, but what the part must survive — the operating temperature, the mechanical load, the chemicals it contacts, and the flammability or food-contact rules it must pass.

TaiKuo organizes its portfolio around that question. Browse below by the part or industry you serve, or by the performance and compliance requirement you must meet; each guide leads you from the application need to the verified, in-stock grades we can supply with OEM documents.

Prefer to start from the material itself? Browse the product catalog or the material guides: engineering plastics, general-purpose plastics, elastomers & TPE and polymer blends & alloys.

plastic resins by application

Browse by Part & Industry

Plastics for Electrical Connectors & Relays — connector housings, relay bases and insulating brackets needing dielectric strength and UL94 ratings.

Film-Grade LLDPE & LDPE for Packaging & Agriculture Films — blown, cast and coating resins for packaging and agri films.

Browse by Performance & Compliance

UL94 V-0 Plastic for Electronics Housings — V-0-rated PC, PC/ABS, reinforced PET and PA66 certified at the wall thickness you mold.

Heat-Resistant Engineering Plastic (150 °C+) — glass-reinforced nylon, FR PET and PEEK for continuous service above 150 °C.

Glass-Filled Nylon 66 & PA6 — 10–50% glass-filled grades for stiffness, HDT and metal replacement.

How to Choose in Three Steps

1. Define the job: Start with operating temperature, mechanical load, chemical contact, and the compliance gates your end product must pass (UL94, food contact, OEM specification).

2. Open the matching guide: Each guide’s “Selection Logic in 30 Seconds” narrows the material family to one or two candidates; its grade table lists verified in-stock options with original OEM documents.

3. Not sure which guide fits? Send the part drawing or specification — our engineers reply within 12 hours with a grade match.

FAQ

Q1: My application is not listed above. Can you still help?

A1: Yes — our portfolio covers more material families and grades than any single page can list. Share the part spec or OEM number and we will match it; if the topic recurs, we can add a dedicated application page.

Q2: Where do I see the actual grades and brands?

A2: Each application page ends with a grade table of verified in-stock materials with OEM documents.
