The many different types of plastics offer many different properties. It's all about choosing the right type of plastic for a particular product or end-use, based on the requirements:

Versatility Plastics can be formed into an enormous variety of complex shapes, and can facilitate design solutions in thousands of applications. Plastics are rigid or flexible, solid or porous. Just think of the difference between a truck body panel, an easy chair, a shopping bag and baby's nappies.
Plastics can also be co-extruded to achieve a combination of properties. Primo can find a plastic solution which, in most cases, will be superior to any other materials you may have in mind.
