Question 1

What does WarrenPSI do?

Accepted Answer

WarrenPSI (Warren Polymer Solutions International) manufactures custom extruded thermoplastic plates and rods for machining and fabrication.

We offer a wide variety of base resins, fillers, colors, and sizes to meet customer-specific requirements.

Question 2

What materials and polymers can WarrenPSI work with?

Accepted Answer

WarrenPSI works with many engineering-grade thermoplastics, including (but not limited to):

• PC (Polycarbonate)
 • PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
 • PEI (Polyetherimide)
 • PSU (Polysulfone)
 • PES (Polyethersulfone)
 • PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

In addition, we can extrude filled materials (e.g. glass fiber, carbon fiber, PTFE additions) as needed.

Question 3

What are the “specialty” or branded product lines WarrenPSI offers?

Accepted Answer

WarrenPSI has developed several product lines / material categories to meet specific performance needs:

• R-guard™ : Electrically conductive / electrostatic dissipative (ESD) materials
 • Kiron™ : Ultra high temperature and superior structural strength materials 
 • W-guard™ : Prioritized for premium wear resistance
 • Chem-guard™ : For materials that require very high chemical resistance

Question 4

What sizes and shapes can WarrenPSI produce?

Accepted Answer

Plates:
 • Widths up to 25″
 • Thicknesses up to 5″
 • Lengths up to 12′

Rods:
 • Diameters up to 10″
 • Lengths up to 12′

If your project requires shapes or dimensions outside of these, please contact us to discuss feasibility.

Question 5

What is WarrenPSI's turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

WarrenPSI prides itself on offering quick turnaround times.

Actual lead times depend on the material, size, complexity, filler usage, and order volume. Contacting us with details will give you a more accurate timeline.

Question 6

Does WarrenPSI provide engineering support or material selection guidance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. With decades of polymer processing experience, our engineers help customers select the right material based on:

• Thermal and chemical environment
 • Mechanical load and wear requirements
 • Electrical or ESD considerations
 • Machinability and dimensional stability

We provide data-driven recommendations to balance performance, cost, and manufacturability.

Question 7

Are WarrenPSI's thermoplastics available in different colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer a wide variety of color options for most resins. We can extrude in various colors to support branding, identification, or process differentiation.

Question 8

What are thermoplastics?

Accepted Answer

Thermoplastics are a type of polymer that becomes moldable when heated and solidifies upon cooling. These materials are highly versatile and can be reshaped multiple times without losing their chemical properties.

Question 9

What is thermoplastic extrusion?

Accepted Answer

Thermoplastic extrusion is a manufacturing process in which plastic materials are melted, shaped through a die, and then cooled to create products with a uniform cross-section.

Question 10

What are the benefits of thermoplastic extrusion?

Accepted Answer

Thermoplastic extrusion offers several advantages which include cost-effectiveness and high production output amongst others. It is also an efficient method for producing durable and lightweight products.
