We at Piedmont CMG proudly present our Plastics Engineering Guide. Two years of

research and study went into its preparation.

Our mission is to provide our customers with a complete and non-biased presentation

on all plastics materials that are available in sheet, rod and tube form. These engineering

materials must be chosen carefully by assessing the application requirements and the

capabilities of each material.

We hope that this book will be helpful to you in designing successful plastics

applications. Our staff is available to assist you in selecting the proper material. At Piedmont CMG, we're people turning your ideas into products.
