Resins that are classified as thermoplastic can be used in vacuum forming and pressure forming. Theoretically, all thermoplastics can be thermoformed, but it is not always practical because special equipment and forming techniques are required.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a type of plastic classified as an engineering plastic. Due to its excellent durability and lowest friction, it is used as a material for machine parts such as gears and guide rails, as well as hoppers, etc. We manufacture ultra-high mo...
It is common to use metals as a plate on other plastic surfaces. This is especially helpful in applications that need electrical conductivity. Many industries also use metal plating on plastic to add color, aesthetic appeal, strength and corrosion resistance. In some instances, multiple layers of ...
Although both materials areamorphous plasticsdue to their chemical makeup, they have distinct differences. Polycarbonate is anamorphous standardplastic, whereas acrylic is anamorphous commoditymaterial. Standard materials are classified higher than Commodity materials due to their wider temperature range. In...

This is a Scarab Beetle, further subclassified as a June Beetle. We previously identified an individual from Turkey as Polyphylla fullo. Scarab Beetle Letter 2 – Scarab Beetle Grub Subject: Large Grub-like Creature Location: Germantown, Maryland June 2, 2012 11:13 pm I found this bug back...
- Plastic gloss paint:more reflective finish. It is very easy to clean with water, so it is an ideal decorative paint for rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens. It will be necessary, however, to sand the wall beforehand. 1.1 Acrylic paint ...
The water is blasted at such speeds that it actually erodes the surface it hits. If abrasives are used, the procedure is classified as abrasive waterjet cutting, but if it’s only water, then it’s called pure waterjet. This is an image of waterjet cutting in action by making a Xometry...
Tubs are often made from materials like plastic, porcelain, or acrylic, chosen for their durability, ease of cleaning, and comfort. Vats, on the other hand, are constructed from materials that can withstand large volumes and the corrosive or reactive nature of their contents, such as stainless...
Polymers that don’t exhibit these elastic qualities would be classified as plastics or resins. Chemists generally recognize two types of plastics — thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermosets contain polymers that cross-link during the curing process to perform an unbreakable, irreversible bond. This mea...
