Please
select from the form below to research the properties of
the following polymers. You can click on the polymer
type icon to see the details.
Amorphous.
Amorphous polymers have a random entanglement of polymers chains.
PROS: Impact, stiffness and dimensional stability
CONS: Lower Tg, poor chemical resistance
Crystalline
Crystalline polymers have their polymer chains aligned in an orderly pattern.
PROS: Chemical resistance, flexibility and creep resistant CONS: High shrink rate, warpage, bondability
Elastomeric
Elastomeric polymers are those that are rubber like and very flexible.
PROS: Soft touch, easy processing, very colorable CONS: Abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, high temperatures
