As a deliberately unauthorised distributor, Hardies are not handcuffed by only being able to supply specific brands.
We have the flexibility to be able to source virtually any polymer in the world, saving you time and money in the process.
Everything we source is supplied in the original manufacturer’s packaging with the manufacturer’s Certificate of Analysis. Minimum order quantities can be delivered from as little as 25kg upwards.
If you can’t find the exact polymer or brand you require – call us and we will search for you, with no obligation to purchase.

Sustainability is vital to not only meet customer and consumer demand, it is crucial that ethically, we all play our part in future-proofing our industry and always doing our very best for the planet.
Increasingly we are asked to source products that meet greener specifications and our team are happy to provide options and guidance in this area. Sustainable polymers generally fall into two category types: Recycled Plastics and Bio/Eco Polymers.
With so much misinformation on plastics, many companies are left confused and uncertain of the approach they should take so we are delighted to introduce Chris DeArmitt, PhD FRSC FIMMM, President of Phantom Plastics in the United States. Truly independent, his goal is to be the leading source of unbiased information on plastics.
Chris is considered one of the top plastic materials experts and problem solvers in the World, which is why companies like HP, Apple, Exxon, P&G, Eaton, Total and Disney go to him for help and to create breakthrough plastic materials.
Hardies have supplied Recycled plastics for nearly 30 years, which means we really do have as much experience in this area as anyone within the industry.

Their material prices are competitive and their deliveries on time. Above all, their customer service is exceptional!
Having being let down by another supplier, within just two hours of our initial call to their office, Hardies had secured the material we urgently required.
With their personal approach, empathy and agility we were won over. We always know that their whole team will add as much value as possible.
The helpful advice and speedy delivery from Hardie Polymers have been immensely helpful for us in our urgent production of a stripped-down, Covid Ventilator for lower income countries across Africa.
Hardies have helped us frequently with materials over the years. They have quick lead times and their prices are very competitive. We would certainly recommend Hardies for your plastic raw material requirements.

Hardie Polymers have been supplying the Plastic Injection Moulding industry since its inception in1960. As you would expect, we have amassed a wealth of insights and knowledge regarding the use of polymers within a variety of sectors. This knowledge sharing is provided to inform the next generation of material processors and engineers.
In injection moulding, weld lines (knit lines) form when two melt fronts meet. If the melt fronts do not coalesce completely, at best there will be a cosmetic flaw. At worst there will be a mechanical weak-spot, with strengths of the order of 10 - 90 % of the material potential.
