Today we discuss the use of relative comparison material data as a support tool in the polymer material selection of visible part applications.
A
summary of the technical data of the most used polymers can be found in this
post here.
There
are many application cases where the parts are visible to us such as housings
of household machines (coffee machine, fridges, and washing machines), exterior
and interior parts in cars and other examples. In such cases, information on UV
stability, weatherability, colorability, and paintability is needed. Such data play
a key role during plastic material selection.
In the
table below, a range of such properties are listed together with commonly used
polymers such as ABS, PC and PP. It can be used during the design phase as a
starting point. In the course of selection, the materials need further investigation
with additional tests to approve the part suitability.
