Begining Guide to Thermoplastic Material Selection
Below you'll find a materials matrix that we compiled as a quick way to isolate a generic type of plastic best suited for an application. This simple approach to materials selection is meant only to steer you in a general direction when selecting thermoplastics. Further research and testing are required before choosing the right plastic for a product.
Many formulations and additives create more than 17,000 thermoplastics. This simple material matrix is not complete or thorough. It's merely one tool to use during the difficult task of material selection. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the matrix nor are we recommending specific materials for your product. Please use the matrix only as a starting place and nothing more. We hope it will help.
