Map content

THERMOPLASTICS

  • Thermoplastics are the types of plastics that can melt at high temperatures, and it hardens when is cold.
  1. Properties

    • They are elastics
    • Viscoelasticity
    • Corrosion
    • Electrical properties
    • Impact
  2. POLYETHILENE

    • Polyethilene is one of the most common plastic due to its low price and simplicity in manufacturing
    • APPLICATIONS
      • Wares
      • tubes
      • Pots
  3. POLYPROPYLENE

    • Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is used in a wide variety of applications including food packaging, fabrics, laboratory equipment, automotive components and, clear films.
    • APPLICATIONS
      • Toys
      • Speakers
      • carpet
  4. PVC

    • PVC is the derivate of the most versatile plastic. It can be produced by four different processes: supension, emulsion, mass and solution
    • APPLICATIONS
      • Cable insulators
      • Clothing
      • Tapestry
  5. POLYSTYRENE

    • The polystyrene is obtained from the polymerization of styrene monorer
    • APPLICATIONS
      • packaging manufacturing
      • manufacture of thermal insulators
      • in some ovens
  6. PET

    • PET is use in fibres for clothing, containers for liquids and food, thermoforming for manufacturing and in combination with glass fibre for engineering resins
    • APPLICATIONS
      • Containers of oil
      • containers of water
      • containers of cosmetics
  7. METHACRYLATE

    • Methacrylate unlike glass, is unbreakable, very flexible and more transparent. It is one of the most consume plastic consume.
    • APPLICATIONS
      • music stands
      • keychains
      • chains
  8. POLYAMIDES

    • The polyamides can be found in found, such as wool or silk and can also be synthetic.
    • APPLICATIONS
      • socket manufacturing
      • ink manufacturing
      • vehicle construction
  9. TEFLON

    • Teflon is practically inert, it dodesn't react with another chemical substance except in very special situations.
    • APPLICATIONS
      • Cookware
      • Textile industry
      • Chemical industry
