Thermoplastic And Injection Moulding Materials

Thermoplastics are plastic materials that melt under the application of heat. They are formed by the polymerization of monomer units of hydrocarbons and widely coveted for their reliability and diversity. Most plastic manufacturing processes today are possible because of the melting properties of thermoplastics. Thermoplastic materials may be strong, flexible, shrink-resistant, flame-retardant, highly elastic, rigid, …
