PLASTIC MATERIALS
- Elastomers
- Neoprene
- Flexible, insulated and
water proof
- Used for immersion suits
- Flexible, insulated and
water proof
- Rubber
- Can be natural or synthetic
- Used to make tyres, hoses
or rubber bands due to it
elasticity
- Can be natural or synthetic
- Very flexible, recover its
shape and dimension after
esternal forces stop forcing
on them. Degrade easily
with heat, can't be remelted.
- Neoprene
- Thermoplastics
- Softened by heating.
Formed and melted as
many times we like. Weak
bonds polymers
- Polyethylene
(PE)
- Offers chemical resistence,
non-toxic (suitable food
packaging)
- Used in bags, bottles,
containers...
- Offers chemical resistence,
non-toxic (suitable food
packaging)
- Polystyrene
(PS)
- Very lightweight and
transparent
- Used in packaging and
heat insulation
- Very lightweight and
transparent
- Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC)
- Highly resistance forabrasion and
impact
- Used in pipes, cable insulation and
profiles for doors and windows
- Highly resistance forabrasion and
impact
- Polypropylene
(PP)
- Easy to model and dye, resistant to
solvents and splintering
- Used for toys, folders, packaning...
- Easy to model and dye, resistant to
solvents and splintering
- Polyethylene
terephthalate
(PET)
- Suitable for food use,
completely recyclable,
transparent and easy to dye
- Used to make bottles
- Suitable for food use,
completely recyclable,
transparent and easy to dye
- Teflon
- Highly resitance to chemicals and
high temperatures
- Used to coat frying pans and other
kitchen utensils due to non-stick
properties
- Highly resitance to chemicals and
high temperatures
- Polycarbonate
(PC)
- Highly resistance to impact and
heat
- Used for shatterproof windows,
lightweight eyeglass lenses due to
it optical transparency
- Highly resistance to impact and
heat
- Softened by heating.
Formed and melted as
many times we like. Weak
bonds polymers
- Thermoset
- It criss-croos forming
networks. Can be shaped
using heat, but cannot be
re-melted to make new
forms
- Melamine
- Resistant to high temperatures
and chemicals, easy to clean
- Used as a coating for wooden
boards, manufacture of kitchen
cupboards
- Resistant to high temperatures
and chemicals, easy to clean
- Bakelite
- Hard, brittle and dark,
withstand heat very well,
breaks down at high
temperatures
- Used to make handles of
kitchen utensils, electrical
accesories...
- Hard, brittle and dark,
withstand heat very well,
breaks down at high
temperatures
- Polyester
resins
- Rigid and brittle. usually
strengthened with fibre glasss
- Used in car bodiess, domestic
swimming pools...
- Rigid and brittle. usually
strengthened with fibre glasss
- It criss-croos forming
networks. Can be shaped
using heat, but cannot be
re-melted to make new
forms
