Furniture
Engineering plastics for functional and durable furniture design.
Politem develops compounds for structural, moving and visible furniture components across indoor, outdoor, office and storage applications.
Material Performance Designed Into Every Detail
Furniture components must combine load-bearing capability, impact resistance, dimensional control, surface quality and efficient production. Moving parts add requirements for wear and low friction, while outdoor products require colour and weather stability.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
|
• Chair and table structures |
• Seat bases and support components |
|
• Armrests and backrests |
• Connectors and structural joints |
|
• Drawer systems and runners |
• Cabinet accessories |
|
• Shelving and profile systems |
• Handles and hinge components |
|
• Caster housings and wheels |
• Storage and organisation products |
Material and Technology Portfolio
Politem offers material platforms for structural strength, appearance, movement and outdoor durability, including recycled-content alternatives.
|
Material Platform |
Relevant Technologies |
|
PA6 and PA66 |
Reinforced strength, impact modification and dimensional stability for structural parts |
|
PP |
Mineral, talc or glass-fibre reinforcement, impact modification and recycled-content options |
|
ABS and PC ABS |
Surface quality, colour, impact performance and dimensional control |
|
ASA |
UV and weather resistance for outdoor furniture |
|
POM |
Low friction and wear performance for hinges, runners and moving mechanisms |
Performance Priorities
The material specification changes according to whether the part carries load, moves, remains visible or is exposed outdoors.
|
• Strength and stiffness |
• Impact resistance |
|
• Creep behaviour |
• Low warpage |
|
• Surface quality |
• Colour consistency |
|
• Scratch and cleaning resistance |
• Low friction and wear |
|
• UV stability for outdoor use |
• Recycled-content options |
Application Driven Development
Formulations are developed around part geometry, wall thickness, load direction, assembly method and surface expectations. PRIME, HYBRID and FULL RECYCLE approaches can be evaluated where the application and feedstock allow.

TESTING AND VALIDATION
Mechanical, dimensional, colour, gloss, weathering and application-specific durability testing may be included. Recycled content, appearance and mechanical targets are confirmed grade by grade rather than treated as a single portfolio-wide value.
