These resins are used in various chemical instrumentation and medical devices due to their high solvent, heat, and flame resistance properties. These resins have a temperature limit of 340 °F.
• Liquid Crystal Polymers: Abbreviated as LCP, these polymers exhibit high tensile strength, and have high heat and chemical resistance. These polymers form areas of ordered structures in liquid phase, but the degree of order weakens in solid form. We work with the following types of injection moldable LCPs. o ZENITE: This liquid crystal polymer has got 45% glass fiber filler, and is used for injection molding intricate industrial parts. This plastic is used for making housings, electronic packaging, microwave oven parts, semiconductor equipment components, etc. o VECTRA: This is a liquid crystal polymer, which exhibits high flame retardant properties as well as excellent mechanical properties. It has good dimensional stability, chemical resistance, high heat resistance, and low

Thermoplastic polyesters change their shape when exposed to heat. Some of the general properties include high tenacity, low water absorption, and minimal shrinking when compared to other types of industrial fibers.
• Polyurethane: This is a highly resilient plastic polymer, which exhibits excellent tear and chemical resistance. Polyurethane is abbreviated as PU, and is available in a wide range of densities, and hardness levels. Some of the common applications of this polymer are bushings, gaskets, seals, and electronic parts.
• Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE): This is one of the widely used and inexpensive thermoplastic with excellent lubricity. This plastic is soft, easy to fabricate, and is not recommended for applications above 150 oF. This polymer is lightweight, and possesses high chemical resistance, electrical insulation properties, and toughness.
• Polypropylene: This is a semi-crystalline polymer, which can be structurally altered to meet process requirements across a wide range of temperatures. Polypropylene has high chemical resistance and low-temperature characteristics. It shows good dimensional stability under humid conditions. We can injection mold the following types of polypropylene

    DEFINITION #1 PET or PETE represents polyethylene terephthalate, the most well-known member of the polyester family. It has become incredibly popular for carrying of food and drink packaging purposes because of its strong ability to stand a liquid and gas barrier - so the chance of getting the food’s spoil is lowered and the carbon dioxide that produce fizzing in soft drinks cannot escaped. PROPERTIES Lightness, clarity, strength, toughness, barrier to liquid and gas. COMMONLY USED IN Cosmetics, Bottled water, soft drinks, oil, sport drinks, juice, mouthwash, ketchup, beer, wine, food jars, such as peanut butter, jelly, jam and pickles.…

    Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, or Kevlar, is a strong polymer that has been used in a wide range of applications from clothing to spacecraft. The material was chosen because of its relevance in my life as a musician due its application in marching snare drum heads. Kevlar's inception dates back to the late 1960s and early 70s in a DuPont facility, where a young woman named Stephanie Kwolek was researching high-performance fibers for use in reducing gasoline consumption in automobiles. Her team was to find a stronger material for reinforcing tires to allow them to be lighter, stiffer, and more efficient in gas consumption. One day during her work, she discovered that the polymer she was working with, Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide (See Figure 1), was forming liquid crystals in a solution.…

    Polyester has an exceptionally smooth luxurious hand and appears to be to some degree frosty to the touch. This smoothness of composition is because of the smooth straight attributes of the polyester fiber which when seen under a magnifying lens looks like that of a glass pole with no surface elements and has an almost superbly round cross segment. The appearance also, surface of polyester can be modified to some degree amid the assembling process, be that as it may, regardless it holds the trademark smooth hand and sheen (Nielson 57). Polyester fibers or strands are made from polyethylene terephthalate polymers and is a medium weight fiber which heavier and more thick than Nylon ("Engineered Fibers"). The strands long smooth and general surface…

The experiment must undergo in the order above, and the plastics that did not indicate signs of change are continued to be tested in the next test, until each six unknown plastics are separated into different groups (groups that share similar properties). Despite the fact that there are six different types of plastic (each belongs to a specific SPI resin code). However, all of them exhibited a consistent pattern in terms of density, flame color, reactions with acetone, and…
