Special plastic generally refer to plastic with special functions that can be used in special application fields such as aviation and aerospace. For example, fluoroplastic and silicones have outstanding special functions such as high temperature resistance and self-lubrication, and reinforced plastic and foam plastic have special properties such as high strength and high cushioning. These plastic all belong to the category of special plastic.
Special plastic
Special plastic are classified according to the use characteristics of plastic.
a. Strong plastic: Reinforced plastic raw materials can be divided into three types in appearance: granular (such as calcium plastic reinforced plastic), fibrous (such as glass fiber or glass cloth reinforced plastic), and flake (such as mica reinforced plastic). According to the material, it can be divided into three types: cloth-based reinforced plastic (such as rag reinforced or asbestos reinforced plastic), inorganic mineral filled plastic (such as quartz or mica filled plastic), and fiber reinforced plastic (such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic).
b. Foam plastic: Foam plastic can be divided into three types: hard, semi-hard and soft foam plastic. Rigid foam plastic have no flexibility and have a high compression hardness. They will only deform when a certain stress value is reached and cannot return to their original shape after the stress is released. Soft foam plastic are flexible and have a low compression hardness. They are easy to deform and can return to their original shape after the stress is released, with little residual deformation. The flexibility and other properties of semi-rigid foam plastic are between rigid and soft foam plastic.
