Plastic Fabrication Materials
Envision Plastics uses many types and grades of material for plastic fabrication. Most are RoHS compliant, but some general purpose materials may not be. If your product needs to be RoHS compliant please specify during product development discussions. Most materials we use are also UL rated.
