Custom Thermoplastics & Polymers for Complex Industrial Applications
Precision-Moldable Materials for Tight Tolerances & Heat Management
Industrial applications present some of the most challenging material requirements in manufacturing: extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, heavy mechanical loads, continuous UV and weather exposure, and strict regulatory compliance. The wrong material choice leads to premature component failure, production downtime, safety hazards, and costly replacement cycles. Aurora’s technical team helps industrial manufacturers navigate these decisions to find the optimal compound for each specific application.
Engineered Thermoplastic Compounds
Industrial programs rarely fit a stock grade, which is why Aurora compounds engineered thermoplastics to the demands of the application. For parts that need toughness, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, our engineering plastics span PC and its alloy family, including PC/ABS, PC/ASA, PC/PBT, and PC/PET, alongside ABS, weatherable ASA, chemical and temperature resistant CPVC Compounds, PBT and PET, and high-performance PEI for the most thermally demanding components. Each is available unfilled or with mineral and glass reinforcement, in flame retardant grades, and tuned to the flow, finish, and compliance requirements of your industrial part.
Where an application calls for flexibility, sealing, soft-touch performance, or cable management, our flexible engineered thermoplastics cover abrasion-resistant TPU Composites, and durable CPE Alloys. For clarity, fire safety, and specialty needs, Aurora also supplies Clear TPE and FPVC, Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen Compounds for enclosed environments, and flame retardant Concentrates that add UL 94 performance to a base resin. Every grade starts with a comprehensive review of your application.
Rigid and Flexible PVC
PVC remains one of the most versatile and cost-effective material families for industrial use, and Aurora formulates it across the full rigid-to-flexible range. Our PVC Compounds include structural Rigid PVC for components requiring strength, chemical resistance, and weatherability, along with optically Rigid PVC Clear, impact-modified Rigid PVC/Acrylic, and lightweight Rigid Cellular PVC for profiles and parts where weight reduction matters. Our patented Composite Technology extends rigid PVC into demanding structural applications.
For applications that demand pliability, sealing, or jacketing, Flexible PVC can be tuned across a wide durometer range with custom color and compliance, supporting UL 94, NSF, REACH, and RoHS requirements as needed. Aurora also produces Purge (Rigid PVC) compounds that clear production lines efficiently and reduce downtime and scrap during color and material changeovers. Whether your industrial part calls for rigid structure, flexible performance, or cleaner transitions on the line, each PVC compound is engineered to your specification.
Frequently Asked Questions Related to Industrial Applications
What are the best plastic materials for industrial applications?
The best industrial compound depends on your specific requirements. For chemical resistance, AuroraTec™ PC/PBT and AuroraGuard™ PBT excel. For maximum impact strength, AuroraGuard™ PC and PC/ABS deliver outstanding performance. For outdoor UV resistance, AuroraShield™ ASA and PC/ASA provide excellent weatherability. For high-temperature applications, AuroraGuard™ PEI offers continuous use up to 340°F (170°C). For pipe and fittings, AuroraTec™ rigid PVC provides corrosion-proof performance with 100+ year projected service life. Our technical team can help select the optimal compound for your application.
How do flame-retardant PVC materials improve industrial safety?
Aurora’s flame-retardant compounds are engineered to resist ignition and self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, preventing small faults from becoming catastrophic fires. Our UL 94 V0-rated compounds across PC, PC/ABS, PBT, and TPO families meet UL, ASTM, OSHA, and NFPA fire safety standards. AuroraGuard™ PEI is inherently flame resistant without requiring flame retardant additives. LSZH compounds provide halogen-free fire safety for wire, cable, and enclosed-space applications.
How does PVC compare to metal for industrial applications?
PVC and engineered thermoplastics offer significant advantages over metal in many industrial applications: complete corrosion immunity (no rust, oxidation, or galvanic action), lighter weight (50–70% reduction), inherent electrical insulation, chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents, lower installation and maintenance costs, design flexibility through injection molding and extrusion, and zero painting or coating requirements. Metal maintains advantages where extreme impact resistance or high structural loading is required.
What industrial applications does Aurora serve?
Aurora serves 16 industrial application segments: Aerospace, Agriculture, Custom, Film & Sheet, Fittings, Hose & Tube, HVAC, Industrial (general), Marine, Packaging, Pipe, Pipe Liner, Purge, Seals & Gaskets, U.S. Military, and Wire Coating. Each segment is supported by dedicated material recommendations from our comprehensive portfolio of rigid PVC, flexible PVC, CPVC, engineering plastics, weatherable compounds, elastomers, and specialty formulations.
Do you provide custom formulations for specific industrial requirements?
Yes! Custom formulation is a core capability. Our R&D staff develops compounds with specific chemical resistance, flame retardancy, UV stabilization, glass-fiber reinforcement, durometer control, color matching, and processing optimization for your exact industrial application. We engineer, test, manufacture, and deliver custom compounds from concept through full-scale production.
