What are the types and uses of engineering plastics
Many products used in our life are plastic. Before purchasing plastic products, we need to know about the types and uses of engineering plastics?
1： Polyphenylene oxide
The consumption of polyphenylene oxide has always been very large. At present, it has gradually replaced stainless steel to manufacture surgical and medical instruments, and also involves the manufacture of gears, blower blades, pipes, valves, and parts in some electronic and electrical industries.
2： Polyphenylene sulfide
Polyphenylene sulfide, abbreviated as PPS, is also a relatively high price plastic in engineering plastics. It is often mixed with other materials in the process of use. It has good heat resistance, corrosion resistance to a certain extent and flame retardancy.
3： Polyamide
Polyamide is actually what people often call nylon. It is also the most popular kind of engineering plastics. It has good mechanical properties, durability, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. The most important thing is that its processing is very convenient. At present, it has been widely used in automotive, electronic and electrical industries.
4： Polycarbonate
The biggest feature of polycarbonate is that it has metal like strength, good ductility and toughness. It looks very like glass and has very good light transmittance. Therefore, it is often used as lighting glass, lampshade, signal lamp, windshield, etc. it is one of the engineering plastics widely used at present.
5： Polyoxymethylene
Polyoxymethylene is one of the most promising plastics in engineering plastics. Because of its hardness and strength like metal, it has gradually replaced some metal parts, and has been widely used in electronic and electrical, machinery, instrumentation, daily light industry, automobile, building materials, agriculture and other industries. I believe its future development will be better.
