The currently most-consumed engineering plastic is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for e.g. car bumpers, dashboard trim and Lego bricks. Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as metal, glass or ceramics in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in strength, weight, and ...
Polyphenylene sulfide is an engineering plastic, commonly used today as a high-performance thermoplastic. [3] PPS can be molded, extruded, or machined to tight tolerances. In its pure solid form, it may be opaque white to light tan in color. Maximum service temperature is 218 °C (424 °F).
Founded in 1988 as the Petrochemical Division of HDC Group, Hyundai EP signed technology transfer contract with Solvay Engineered Polymer in 1991, focusing on developing advanced technologies, and built a compounding factory in Dangjin in 1994 to start developing and producing automobile bumpers and interior materials.
The plastics industry manufactures polymer materials—commonly called plastics—and offers services in plastics important to a range of industries, including packaging, building and construction, electronics, aerospace, manufacturing and transportation.
They must be majoring in or taking courses that would be beneficial to a career in the plastics industry, such as plastics engineering, polymer science, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, journalism or communications. All applicants must be in good standing with their colleges.
Most high-performance plastics are exploited for a single property (e.g. heat stability), in contrast to engineering plastics which provide moderate performance over a wider range of properties. [1] Some of their diverse applications include: fluid flow tubing, electrical wire insulators, architecture, and fiber optics.

LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]
