SustaABS

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, lm and custom pro les and machine
parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the
shape has their own product trade name. If your speci cation calls for a speci c resin grade or
manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your speci cation or
suggest an equal. If you require a speci c resin or brand it must be speci ed at the time of order.
