Materials

At MC Displays our mannequins are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and realism.  Additionally, we are committed to sustainability by incorporating bio-based materials derived from renewable resources, maintaining the quality of our products while reducing our environmental footprint. Explore our range of mannequins made from these premium materials!

GRP Glass Reinforced Plastic

​

  • Composition: Made of a polymer (usually polyester or epoxy) reinforced with fine glass fibers.

​

  • Molding Process: Heated polymer is mixed with glass fibers and shaped in a mold; it hardens as it cools.

​

  • Recycling: Can be crushed and reused as filler, but full recycling is limited due to the glass fiber content.

PU Polyurethane

​

  • Composition: Made from a reaction of isocyanates and polyols, forming a flexible or rigid foam.

​

  • Molding Process: PU is injected into molds, where it reacts and expands to form the final shape.

​

  • Recycling: Can be mechanically recycled by grinding it into a powder or chemically recycled back to its original components.

PS Polystyrene

​

  • Composition: A synthetic polymer made from styrene, available in both solid and foam forms (e.g., Styrofoam).

​

  • Molding Process: Heated polystyrene is injected or blown into molds to form rigid products or foam.

​

  • Recycling: Can be recycled by melting and reforming into new products, but contamination often limits recycling.

ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

​

  • Composition: A thermoplastic made from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.

​

  • Molding Process: Heated ABS is injected into molds to create strong, impact-resistant parts.

​

  • Recycling: Easily recyclable by melting down and reforming; common in consumer products like LEGO bricks.

Bio Resin

​

  • Composition: Made from natural, renewable sources such as plant oils or sugars (e.g., soybeans, corn).

​

  • Molding Process: Similar to conventional resins, bio resins are heated and molded, then cured, often with lower environmental impact.

​

  • Recycling: Can be biodegradable or compostable depending on the type, but some bio resins can be recycled in a similar manner to petroleum-based resins by breaking them down into base components.
