General Components 3
3.1 Bakelite
Bakelite is a type of synthetic resin formed through the process of condensation polymerization with phenol as the main raw material. It is a hard and dense material that is waterproof, heat resistant, acid proof, and insulating in nature. It was the first plastic created and is widely used in everyday objects, particularly in electrical parts.
3.2 Polyethylene
Polyethylene (PE) is a plastic made up of monomers derived from petroleum. It is a lightweight, flexible, and non-toxic material that has become the most widely used plastic for a variety of applications. It can be used to create thin films, plastic bottles, packaging materials, and a variety of other products.
3.3 Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a type of thermoplastic made from monomers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. It is a lightweight, cost-effective material that can be formed into a variety of shapes. It is often used for piping, medical instruments, automotive parts, toys, and other molded products.
3.4 Polyvinyl Chloride
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a type of plastic made from monomers of vinyl chloride. It is a rigid material that is highly resistant to corrosion, chemical attack, and weathering. It is used for a variety of applications, particularly for piping and tubing, window frames, and signs.
3.5 Polypropylene
Polypropylene (PP) is a type of thermoplastic made from monomers of propylene. It is a lightweight, flexible material that is chemically inert and resistant to most acids and bases. It is widely used for packaging, consumer goods, and industrial products, particularly in food service and medical applications.
3.6 Polystyrene
Polystyrene (PS) is a type of thermoplastic made from monomers of styrene. It is a lightweight, rigid material that is resistant to water, acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. It is widely used in packaging, electrical components, and consumer products, particularly as moldable foam insulation.
3.7 Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate (PC) is a type of thermoplastic made from monomers of carbonate esters. It is a strong, transparent material that is highly resistant to heat, cold, and impact. It is used for a variety of applications, particularly in electronics, automotive parts, security glass, and other industrial products.
3.8 Polyurethane
Polyurethane (PU) is a type of polymer made from monomers of isocyanates and polyols. It is a highly durable, flexible material commonly used in furniture, bedding, and other consumer products. It is also used as an adhesive, sealant, and insulation material in a variety of industrial applications.
