Surprising ABS Plastic Applications
ABS plastic stands for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. It is a thermoplastic material, meaning that it liquefies, rather than burn at high temperature. This means that ABS plastic can be melted, made into any form, then re-melted and turned into something else. And this specific property is the explanation for the various ABS plastic applications.

Engineering Plastics 101: Which is Best for Your Project?
Engineering plastics are the bridge between standard plastics and high temperature plastics. While they have better mechanical strength and thermal resistance than commodity plastics (such as PVC), they’re not as sophisticated or as costly to produce as high temperature plastics. Engineering plastics have attributes that enable them to perform for extended periods in situations where
Food-Grade Plastics: Which Are Best for Food Service & Businesses?
Food-grade plastics (also food-safe plastics) is a term used for plastics deemed safe for contact with food and beverages. If a plastic is food-grade, it has a certain level of purity and doesn’t include any dyes or recycled materials that are potentially hazardous if consumed by humans. Certain acidic food and alcohol can cause plastic
