The plastic kits and covers are mostly made of synthetic polymers like polythene, and tires are manufactured from polybutadienes. [1] However, due to the environmental issues created by these synthetic polymers which are mostly non-biodegradable and often synthesized from petroleum, alternatives like bioplastics are also being considered. They ...
Polyetherimide (PEI; branded as Ultem [1]) is an amorphous, amber-to-transparent thermoplastic with characteristics similar to the related plastic PEEK.When comparing PEI to PEEK, the former is cheaper but has lower impact strength and a tighter temperature range.
POM is a strong and hard plastic, about as strong as plastics can be, and therefore competes with e.g. epoxy resins and polycarbonates. The price of POM is about the same as that of epoxy. There are two main differences between POM and epoxy resins: epoxy is a two-component resin that can be cast, and adheres to everything it touches,
An acrylic resin is a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substance typically derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and acrylate monomers such as butyl acrylate and methacrylate monomers such as methyl methacrylate. Thermoplastic acrylics designate a group of acrylic resins typically containing both a high molecular weight and a high ...
Poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) is a family of organic polymers with the formula (CH 2 CHCO 2 CH 3) n.It is a synthetic acrylate polymer derived from methyl acrylate monomer. The polymers are colorless.
Commodity plastics or commodity polymers are plastics produced in high volumes for applications such as packaging, food containers, and household products, including both disposable products and durable goods. In contrast to engineering plastics, commodity plastics tend to be inexpensive to produce and exhibit relatively weak mechanical properties.
Solvent impregnated resins (SIRs) are porous resin particles which contain an additional liquid extractant inside the porous matrix. The contained extractant is supposed to enhance the capacity of the resin particles. A large category of resins, which constitutes 75% of resins used, [citation needed] is that of the unsaturated polyester resins.
The PPE blends are characterized by hot water resistance with low water absorption, high impact strength, halogen-free fire protection and low density. This plastic is processed by injection molding or extrusion; depending on the type, the processing temperature is 260–300 °C. The surface can be printed, hot-stamped, painted or metallized.
