Classification

Thermoplastics: They are easily disassembled by heat and rebuild when cooled. Good capacity for recycling.

  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene (PE), Teflon, Nylon, Methacrylate 

 

Thermostable: They break down with heat before the plastic melts, they can only be melted and made once. Low recyclability.

  • Polyurethane (PU), Melamine, Phenolic resins

 

Elastomers: They are a type of thermosetting (they can only be melted once), and thanks to their internal structure they have a high degree of elasticity.

  • Natural Rubber (NR), Synthetic Rubber (EPDM, NBR, CR, SBR…), Silicone (VMQ)…
