In the last twenty years new polymeric materials have been created whose physico-mechanical properties
and heat resistance are so good that they can be used as a replacements of metals, also in a number of
applications where metals were exclusively used.
These polymeric materials are called engineering polymers.

The most used and well known engineering polymers are:
Polyamide (PA6, PA66)
Polycarbonate (PC)
Polyphenylene Oxide Compound (PPO)
Polybutylene Terephtalate (PBT)
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Compound (ABS)
PC/ABS Alloys

Besides their technical properties, other engineering polymers are known for their high excellent
aesthetical properties (ABS, SAN).
SO.F.TER. produces a wide range of compounds based on engineering polymers:
Nylfor® (PA6, PA66)
Pibifor® (PBT)
Abistir® (ABS)
Stirofor® (HI-PS)
Blendfor® (PC/ABS)
Cabofor® (PC)
Sanfor® (SAN)
Norfor® (PPO)

High performance polypropylene compound

SO.F.TER. Is specialized in the production of homopolymer and copolymer polypropylene compounds
(PPhomo; PPcopo). The range of specialties includes a wide choice of grades.
