A thermoplastic material is any plastic polymer that can be heated and readjusted in a particular designated form upon cooling. Most thermoplastic materials have a high molecular weight and will melt rapidly in a molten state.
It is these general qualities that make thermoplastic polymers ideal for injection molding. However, each particular thermoplastic has different qualities, advantages and disadvantages, so it is critical to select the right material for the application by hand. Additional fillers and additives may also be used to provide specific characteristics that best meet the requirements of the application.
Advantages of thermoplastic
• Recyclable and reusable
• Environmental friendly
• More options for brightness, variation, etc.
• Chemically retarding options
