Degree of Polymerization (DP) The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands.
Dispersion To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion.
Fiberglass Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass.
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt.
Flake This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics.
Fluoropolymers This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc.
Kevlar Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid.
Laminate A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width.
Nylon They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids.
PET preform A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container.
Plastic compounding Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.
Plastic pellets Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic.
Polymerization It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds.
Styrene Copolymers A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate.
Thermoplastics Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties.
Virgin Plastic It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials.
