Plastics that perform
HEADNOTE
challenging to sort through and a bit confusing. The pressure put on plastic suppliers to constantly develop new materials only makes the material-selection process more daunting. Designers must wade through an expanding array of improved mechanical and physical properties. They must also gain a good understanding of which process - injection molding, extruding, thermoforraing, laminating, casting, and blow molding - will be the optimum choice for transforming a new polymer into the latest complex part.IMAGE TABLE 1
A basic understanding of material properties and processing options will help pinpoint the right polymer for complex plastic parts.
The uninitiated may find the expanding volume of data for engineered plastics
HIGH-PERFORMANCE PLASTICS COMPARATIVE CHART
No discussion about high-performance engineering plastics can begin without a basic understanding of plastics and how they are produced.
