Engineering Plastics
ProCut has over many years gained vast experience in machining engineering plastics of all types. From simple panels to complex detailed units, we machine to customers’ specification for a diverse range of industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and of course the MOD.
Our technology allows us to cut to size plastic sheets. We supply low cost cuts and sheets of Acrylic, Perspex, PVC, Correx and many other plastics. We have in-house expertise in developing low cost cut to size plastic sheeting and can provide advice on all materials including Acrylic, Perspex, Foamboard, PVC and Correx.
