What is the Most Suitable Replacement for a Material I'm Using Now?

Alternative Resins Search

This is one of the most common questions we get.

As you know, finding an alternative plastic can be overwhelming because there are more than 80,000 commercially available grades. That's why we created an invaluable way to find replacement plastics within minutes!

Matt Keller, a Design Engineer for Slingshot Product Development Group said it best, "Prospector's Alternative Resins Search worked great for us! It helped us sort everything out quickly and save time - and frustration."

If you need to ...

  • find an alternative for a discontinued material
  • uncover lower cost replacement plastics
  • or locate a better performing resin

... Alternative Resins Search in Prospector can instantly help you. Already in 2009, the tool has been used more than 32,000 times.
