- Benefits
Very good impact resistance over a wide temperature range.; Good electrical properties.; Low water absorption.; Resistant to most chemicals.; Can be used in contact with food.; Available in several variants with varying melt index and molecular weight from very weak to semi-rigid materials.; Stiffened with filler or fiberglass.; Expands to foam.; Occurs as a construction plastic with simultaneous cellular and fiberglass structure.; Low Price.
- Restrictions
Very high coefficient of longitudinal expansion.; Low resistance to creep under load.; Poor fatigue strength than polypropylene.; Burns fiercely.; Attacked by oxidizing acids.; High shape shrinkage.; Hard and glue.; Sensitive to stress corrosion.; Poor weather resistance (if not black).; Difficult to provide with text without prior surface treatment.; Low scratch resistance.; Mechanical properties, strongly temperature dependent.
