Question Answer
Thermoplastics: ABS (properties) -High impact strength -Good toughness -Good strength -Scratch resistant -Lightweight -Durable
Thermoplastics: ABS (uses) -Kitchen products -Mobile phone cases
Thermoplastics: Acrylic (properties) -Food safe -Tough -Hard -Durable -Easily machined
Thermoplastics: Acrylic (uses) Light units
Thermoplastics: Polypropylene (properties) -Lightweight -Food safe -Good impact resistance at low temperatures too -Good chemical resistance
Thermoplastics: Polypropylene (uses) -Kitchen products -Medical equipment
Thermoplastics: HIPS (properties) -Good impact resistance -Good strength -Good stiffness
Thermoplastics: HIPS (uses) -Children's toys -Refrigerator linings
Thermoplastics: LDPE (properties) -Low density -Low stiffness -Low rigidity -Good chemical resistance
Thermoplastics: LDPE (uses) -Detergent bottles -Toys -Carrier bags
Thermoplastics: HDPE (properties) -High density -Good stiffness -Good chemical resistance
Thermoplastics: HDPE (uses) -Crates -Buckets
Thermoplastics: PC (properties) -Good chemical resistance -Expensive -Very tough
Thermoplastics: PC (uses) -Hairdryers -Protective shields
Thermosets: Epoxy resins (properties) -High strength when reinforced with fibres -Good chemical resistance -Good wear resistance
Thermosets: Epoxy resins (uses) -Surface coating -Encapsulation of electronics
Thermosets: Melamine formaldehyde (properties) -Rigid -Good strength and hardness -Scratch resistant -Can be coloured
Thermosets: Melamine formaldehyde (uses) -Tableware -Decorative laminates
Thermosets: Polyester resins (properties) -Rigid -Brittle -Good heat resistance -Good chemical resistance
Thermosets: Polyester resins (uses) -Casting -Used in GRP
Thermosets: Urea formaldehyde (properties) -Rigid -Hard -Good strength -Brittle -Heat resistant -Good electrical insulator
Thermosets: Urea Formaldehyde (uses) -Electrical fittings -Adhesives
Biodegradable Plastics: PLA -Transparent -Similar to polyethylene and polypropylene Eg. Medical equipment and packaging
Biodegradable Plastics: Biopol -Harvested from bacteria grown in cultures -Most popular type is PHB and is used in packaging due to its similarities to polypropylene Eg. Used in medicine implants because of its ability to dissolve over time
Biodegradable Plastics: Oxo degradable These polymers have additives that promote short degradation times, this helps the polymer break down into a fine powder that is more readily digestible
Biodegradable Plastics: Photodegradable These polymers break down when exposed to light
Biodegradable Plastics: Water soluble Eg. Products such as liquid detergents in pouches that dissolve when in contact with water
