Thermoplastics constitute the largest assortment of resin formulations which when formulated are transformed into a variety of basic shapes.
Although fillers can be employed, the thermoplastics are self-supporting homogeneous materials which do not require reinforcing sub-straits.
Among the properties of thermoplastics are resistances to impact, corrosion, mechanical stress, wear, etc. Because of the vast array of thermoplastics available, application parameters are used to select the best type or grade.
Urethane Elastomers are a group of thermosetting and thermoplastic materials often mistaken as rubber.
These materials are unique in that hardness and additives may be combined to acquire certain properties not possible in other non-metallic materials such as strength, cut and tear resistance, sound deadening properties, and defense against abrasion and impact.
