MATERIAL CATAGORIES
THERMOPLASTICS
Description: These are polymers that become soft when heated and harden upon cooling. This process is reversible, allowing thermoplastics to be remolded multiple times without significant degradation.
Examples: Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Polycarbonate (PC).
Applications: Packaging, automotive parts, consumer goods, medical devices.
THERMOSETTING PLASTICS
Description: Unlike thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics undergo a curing process that permanently hardens the material. Once set, they cannot be remolded or reheated without degrading.
Examples: Epoxy resins, Phenolic resins, Urea-formaldehyde, Melamine-formaldehyde.
Applications: Electrical insulations, adhesives, coatings, composite materials.
ELASTOMERS
Description: Elastomers are polymers with elastic properties, meaning they can stretch significantly and return to their original shape. They are often referred to as rubbery materials.
Examples: Natural rubber, Synthetic rubber (like SBR, Nitrile rubber), Silicone rubber.
Applications: Tires, seals, gaskets, flexible tubing, footwear.
BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS
Description: These polymers are designed to break down into natural substances like water, carbon dioxide, and biomass over time under environmental conditions. They are increasingly used to reduce plastic waste.
Examples: Polylactic acid (PLA), Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Polybutylene succinate (PBS).
Applications: Biodegradable packaging, agricultural films, medical implants.
COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Description: Composites are made from two or more distinct materials that combine to create properties not found in any single material. In polymers, they often include a polymer matrix with reinforcing fibers.
Examples: Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), Glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP).
Applications: Aerospace components, automotive parts, sporting goods, construction materials.
SPECIALTY POLYMERS
Description: These are high-performance polymers with specific properties tailored for niche applications. They often exhibit superior chemical resistance, thermal stability, or mechanical strength.
Examples: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyimides, Polyether ether ketone (PEEK).
Applications: Electronics, aerospace, medical devices, chemical processing equipment.
