ABS plastic<\/span><\/h2>\n

ABS is a thermoplastic<\/strong> that meets its name in the acronym of ‘Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene<\/strong>‘, the blocks that make up this polymer. In fact, each of its compounds gives the new material some characteristics that make this plastic a quality technical material<\/strong> with properties such as hardness, stability, resistance to chemical attacks, also to high and low temperatures, toughness, mechanical resistance, rigidity and shine.<\/strong>
\n
\nAll these virtues of ABS entail that it can be found in a multitude of objects and applications. For instance in electronic devices<\/strong> such as computers, televisions and radios. The automotive industry<\/strong> also uses ABS parts. The low toxicity and easy pigmentation of ABS makes it an ideal material for making toys and office supplies<\/strong>.Qualities like the low absorption of water makes it a perfect plastic for bathrooms and wet areas<\/strong>. And of course, the high and low temperature resistance – especially at low temperatures – and shock resistance make it the ideal plastic for outdoor use.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polyamide<\/span><\/h2>\n

Polyamide is a type of polymer that contains amide-type bonds<\/strong>, a type of material that can be found in nature, such as wool and silk.<\/p>\n

Although originally -and still- the polyamide was used to produce nylon textile products<\/strong>, today it is used as injected plastic<\/strong> and is already widely utilized in the plastic industry.<\/p>\n

Other materials can be added to the polyamide, this modifies its physical and mechanical characteristics. Materials usually added are graphite, teflon or fiberglass.<\/p>\n

The properties of the polyamide are mainly related to its resistance and rigidity: to the shock (it is a shock-absorbing material)<\/strong>, it also stands out for its resistance to deformation at hight and low temperatures<\/strong>, to chemical substances, to fatigue, friction and wear, as well as for its hardness and tenacious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All these properties make it ideal for manufacturing automotive pieces, gear machinery and other pieces which undergo mechanical and friction use.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polycarbonate<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic,<\/strong> which means that at some temperature it can be moulded and handled. Polycarbonate polymers have long carbonate chains in their structure<\/strong>, which give the material its name.<\/p>\n

The characteristics of this technical material are -below 125\u00baC- good dimensional stability, good resistance to chemical attacks (with an exception to alkalis), good tenacity and mechanical properties, resistance to impact, transparency and elasticity in finished products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polycarbonate products are usually obtained by injection, blowing and extrusion. When polycarbonate injection<\/strong> moulding is used, it is often to produce products with complex geometric shapes<\/strong> (such as design furniture) or when transparency is a required<\/strong> (for instance CDs and DVDs).<\/p>\n

This plastic is very abundant in daily life<\/strong>; in the food sector we find it in drums and bottles<\/strong> of mineral water, in architecture in covers and closures<\/strong>, in toys<\/strong>, in photo cameras<\/strong>, cinema and lighting equipment<\/strong>, in office materia<\/strong>l, security and electronic material<\/strong>, and in one of its most iconic uses CDs and DVDs<\/strong>, among others.[:]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
