How to Choose Plastic Raw Material?

• How to Choose Plastic Raw Material?
• Theres no doubt there are a lot of applications
  where plastic raw material can be helpful. Most
  of the time, a list of possible candidates is
  narrowed down to two or three, followed by a
  test.
• However, these are the six most commonly used
  materials offered by plastic raw material
  Manufacturer
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
• Polyamide (Nylon)
• High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• ABS PC Blend (mostly used for electronics
  enclosures)
• In this article, we will talk about the hardness,
  flexibility, weight, and cost of each category.
  Well look at the main properties of these six
  categories since each has thousands of
  variations.
• Hardness
• First, look at the hardness property and see how
  each material category compares. It is common to
  test a materials hardness using a device that
  measures shore hardness, divided into type A and
  type D, respectively, for softer and harder
  plastics.
• These types are rated from 0 to 100 on a scale of
  zero to one. It is also popularly known as Shore
  hardness, after Albert Shore, who developed the
  durometer scale to measure material hardness. Now
  lets look at how day-to-day things around us
  stack up

The table shows that plastic raw material
suppliers use different materials for different
things. You should choose the right material for
the right product, considering the usage,
environment, type of abrasion, and overall user
experience. Flexibility of materials Its a
common misconception that all soft materials are
flexible and all hard materials are stiff. There
are soft and flexible materials you need to know
the difference. The stiffness of a material
determines its resistance to bending under
stress. For example, compare an ABS ruler with a
Nylon ruler. Even though ABS has a higher
hardness, a nylon ruler would be more difficult
to bend than an ABS ruler. Weight of
material Material selection is also influenced
by the weight of the material. It is the density
of a plastic polymer that ultimately determines
the weight or lightness of its final product. You
can also ask about material weight from plastic
raw material suppliers. Material cost Indeed,
the cost of materials is an important
consideration when producing a plastic injection-
moulded product, but the material selection
should be based on application rather than price
alone. Thus, consider asking about the price from
a plastic raw material dealer.

Conclusion
Each material category has its unique
characteristics therefore, paying attention to
each categorys overall defining characteristics
is essential. We should never forget that if a
material lacks certain properties, it can be
reduced with additives and fillers to make it
more efficient. This is how there are over 85,000
types of plastic. Contact Plastic Dealers if
