Alternative Resin 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 85,000 commercially available grades. That's why we created an invaluable way to Quickly find alternative plastics!

Matt Keller, a Design Engineer for Slingshot Product Development Group said it best, "Prospector's Alternative Plastics 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

  • or locate a better performing resin
