Product type
Thermoplastics are a type of polymer that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. They are made from long chains of molecules that can be reshaped multiple times without significant chemical change. Common thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These materials are widely used in various applications due to their versatility, durability, and ease of processing.
| Melting temperature range | 100°C to 300°C |
| Density | 0.8 to 2.2 g/cm³ |
| Tensile strength | 10 to 100 MPa |
| Elongation at break | 50% to 600% |
| Common colors | Natural, black, and custom colors available |
When selecting thermoplastics, consider the specific application requirements such as temperature resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical compatibility. It's important to specify the desired grades and tolerances based on your project needs. Certifications may be relevant depending on the industry, particularly for medical or food-grade applications. Be sure to indicate the quantity required for accurate pricing and lead times.
