One of the most crucial aspects of any product is the choice of raw material in which it is made. If the most suitable material is a plastic the most important step is to choose the right one.

LP&A has a data base with over 35,000 different polymers, and new ones come on to the market every day. Chemical companies mix additives into basic polymers to improve their properties, such as UV resistance, anti inflammability and resistance to environmental stresses. Materials scientists are creating materials that will do things that were undreamed of a few years ago.

LP&A works with an associated material science company to ensure that our clients get the most appropriate material for their application. If necessary we develop our own specialised compound to meet particular needs.

Material Selection is Critical to Project Success.
