Quality
 

Quality is a key part of our offering to you and to that end PRP is an ISO 9001: 2000 accredited company. Our team constantly look to improve our processes to improve what we do and how we do it. Investment in systems is another key element in our performance and to that end we run our operations on SAP. This enterprise tool ensures proper controls in all areas of what we do for you, our customer.

We list some of the materials we use in our processes:

Polypropylene (PP)
Plastic noted for its lightweight, being less dense than water; it is a polymer of propylene. It resists moisture, oils, and solvents. Since its melting point is 121°C (250°F), it is used in the manufacture of objects that are sterilized in the course of their use. Polypropylene is also used to make textiles, coating of wire and cable, packaging material, tubing, and trim molding.

Polystyrene (HIPS)
Widely used plastic; it is a polymer of styrene. Polystyrene is a colorless, transparent thermoplastic that softens slightly above 100°C (212°F) and becomes a viscous liquid at around 185°C (365°F). It is resistant to acids, alkalies, oils, and alcohols. It is produced either as a solid or as a foamed plastic marketed under the trade name Styrofoam. Its many uses include electrical and thermal insulation, translucent window and signage panels, storage-battery cases, toilet articles, and display signage.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Thermoplastic that is a polymer of vinyl chloride. Resins of polyvinyl chloride are hard, but with the addition of plasticizers a flexible, elastic plastic can be made. This plastic has found extensive use as an electrical insulator for wires and cables, tubing, gaskets, and trim molding.

Provista/PETG
A clear thermoplastic copolymer (copolyester) with high melt strength used mainly for profile extrusion. Provista/PETG is often used as a replacement for Acrylic due to cost and ease of processing. It has excellent chemical resistant and high clarity. It is also UV resistant and is FDA compliant for food contact applications. It's many uses include display signage, tubing, trim molding, and clear window panels.
