Thermoplastics soften when heated and harden when cooled, making them re-moldable and recyclable. Up to 30% of regrind is commonly blended with virgin resin to maintain performance.
Material | Characteristics | Common Applications |
---|---|---|
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) | - Opaque, amorphous plastic - Lightweight, rigid, and tough - Low melting point, good processability | - Automotive parts - Sports equipment - Pipes - Lego bricks |
Polycarbonate (PC) | - Transparent - High impact strength - Heat-resistant and tough | - Eyewear lenses - Bulletproof glass - Containers - Automotive components |
Nylon (Polyamide) | - Tough and flexible - High mechanical strength, often glass-reinforced - Resistant to friction and chemicals - Absorbs moisture (hygroscopic) | - Gears, bearings - Electrical housings - Engine components |
Polypropylene (PP) | - Tough, elastic, and fatigue-resistant - Good chemical and electrical resistance - Low melt viscosity (easy to mold) | - Packaging - Automotive interiors - Household goods |
Polyethylene (PE) (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, UHMWPE) | - Varies by density: - LDPE: Flexible, low strength - HDPE: Tough, higher strength - Excellent chemical resistance and impermeability | - Packaging films - Bottles and containers - Medical tubing - Bulletproof materials |
