ABS resin: It can achieve texture of piano lacquer and mirror lacquer without painting.
As long as you choose right plastic material and processing method, it can present a mirror-like texture without painting or grinding.
plastic material 
PS Polystyrene: Transparent and easy to color like PVC.
It is a common material for CD cases or plastic models. Disadvantage of PS is that it has poor heat resistance and is easy to break when dropped on the ground.
plastic material 
POM polyoxymethylene resin: It has high resistance to repeated compression or stretching, and has good wear resistance and toughness.
It has characteristics of high hardness, high rigidity, and high wear resistance.
It is mainly used for products that act as skeletons, such as gears, bearings, automotive parts, machine tools, and instrument internals.
plastic material 
PA Polyamide (Nylon): Good mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, bending and mechanical impact.
PA has excellent performance. Its performance can be further improved after being modified by filling, strengthening, toughening, flame retardant, etc.
plastic material 
PE Polyethylene: Raw material is cheap and easy to shape during production
Although it is not fire-resistant or heat-resistant, it has high cold resistance and will not become brittle even at -20℃.
plastic material 
PP Polypropylene: Lighter than PE and more heat-resistant, with a glossy surface and easy to color:
Due to its excellent bending resistance, it is often used in manufacture of one-piece containers.
plastic material 
PVC Polyvinyl Chloride: Different additives can be added to create different soft and hard textures.
Low cost and high transparency. Also suitable for coloring and printing.
plastic material 
PET thermoplastic polyester: smooth and shiny surface, a common resin in life
We are familiar with material used to make plastic bottles. It can also be used as fiber and has a complete recycling system.
plastic material 
PC polycarbonate: preferred material for making transparent and high-strength products.
Colorless and transparent, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, and has good mechanical properties within normal use temperatures.
Often used in plastic chairs.
