At Aetna Plastics, we understand the fast-paced and demanding nature of the manufacturing world. Whether you’re producing automotive components, fabricating custom equipment, or streamlining assembly operations, our high-performance plastic materials and fabrication services are engineered to meet the needs of general manufacturing applications. From durability and chemical resistance to precision and versatility, our solutions help manufacturers stay efficient, competitive, and innovative.
Machine Guards and Enclosures
- Clear and impact-resistant plastics like polycarbonate and acrylic are ideal for creating safe, visible barriers around moving machinery.
Conveyor Systems and Components
- Durable, low-friction materials such as UHMW and acetal are used for guides, rollers, and wear strips that keep production moving smoothly.
Bushings, Bearings, and Wear Strips
- Plastics like nylon and PTFE provide excellent wear resistance and reduce the need for lubrication in high-friction environments.
Gaskets and Seals
- Flexible, chemical-resistant plastics like PTFE and rubber-like materials ensure tight seals in fluid and gas systems.
Custom Tanks, Trays, and Hoods
- HDPE and PVC are commonly fabricated into chemical tanks, spill containment trays, and protective hoods for industrial use.
Fluid Handling and Piping Systems
- Corrosion-resistant materials like CPVC and PVDF are ideal for moving liquids, especially in chemically aggressive environments.
Electrical Insulation and Paneling
- Non-conductive plastics such as FR-rated polycarbonate or fiberglass-reinforced materials are used for control panels, insulation barriers, and circuit protection.
Prototyping and Low-Volume Production
- Lightweight, easily machinable materials allow for fast turnaround in product development and testing.
