Trirex
The Advanced Engineering Polymer for Strength and Reliability
What is Trirex?
Trirex is a high-performance polycarbonate renowned for its strength, durability, and superior heat resistance. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturing rely on Trirex for its toughness and versatility. At Stephens Plastics, we specialise in Trirex plastic solutions, offering premium-grade engineering thermoplastics tailored to your specifications.
Why Choose Trirex for Your Application?
Trirex is a go-to material for applications that demand high impact resistance, thermal stability, and optical clarity.
At Stephens Plastics, we trust Trirex plastic for demanding environments because it offers:
- Unmatched Strength: Exceptional impact resistance for critical applications.
- Superior Heat Resistance: Maintains performance in extreme temperatures.
- Outstanding Optical Clarity: Ideal for transparent applications.
- Ideal for transparent applications.: Withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight and harsh environments.
- Lightweight and Mouldable: Suitable for complex designs with intricate detailing.
Trirex vs. Other Plastics: How Does It Compare?
Selecting the right engineering-grade polycarbonate is essential for durability and reliability. Here’s how Trirex plastic compares:
| Feature | Trirex | Acrylic | Standard Polycarbonate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact Resistance | Extremely High | Moderate | High |
| Heat Resistance | Excellent | Limited | Good |
| Optical Clarity | High | Very High | High |
| UV Resistance | Excellent | Weak | Moderate |
| Machinability | High | Brittle | Moderate |
Unlike acrylic, Trirex sheets do not shatter under pressure and perform exceptionally well under high-temperature conditions.
