Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers: beverage, food and other liquid containers. Celluloid is the name of a class of compounds created from nitrocellulose and camphor, plus added dyes and other agents. Generally regarded to be the first thermoplastic. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) This common thermoplastic is used to make molded products such as piping, automotive body parts, wheel covers, and toys including Lego’s. Polystyrene is a thermoplastic substance, normally existing in solid state at room temperature, but melting if heated (for molding or extrusion), and becoming solid again when cooling off. Polyamide 12-Nylon 12-PA 12 (Fire Retardant) A Thermoplastic Foamed Polyurethanes used for insulation and mattress and upholstery filler, are made with organic compounds containing carboxyl groups, causing a reaction that liberates carbon dioxide bubbles throughout the product. Polyurethane commonly abbreviated PU, is any polymer consisting of a chain of organic units joined by urethane links.
