Thermoplastics are plastic polymers that soften when they are heated, allowing for molding, and solidify again as they are cooled. Because of their unique chemical properties, thermoplastic materials can be remolded and recycled without negatively affecting the material’s physical properties. This makes thermoplastics an ideal material for injection molding. Thermoplastic materials are used for a wide range of applications from consumer goods to medical equipment, depending on the type of material. Commodity thermoplastics are the easiest to process and are used to manufacture products in high volumes. These materials are best for applications like packaging, clothing, food, and beverages. In contrast, engineered and specialized thermoplastics have been blended to enhance their characteristics. They are used for heavier-duty applications like military, aerospace, and medical industries.
