This trial version can use only a part of item. Property of Plastics This chapter explains the properties of plastics and the characteristics of typical material in mold processing. Property of Plastics Plastic properties are classified by 5 criteria. The properties mentioned here could be references for plastic selection. However, these properties are subject to change due to temperature or humidity changes. Therefore, it is necessary to account for changes in environmental conditions on selection of plastics. Mechanical properties Mechanical properties refer to displacement or breakage of plastic due to some mechanical change such as applying some load.Mechanical properties are dependent on the temperature, force (load), and the duration of time the load is applied. It may also be affected by ultra-violet radiation when used outside. Thermal properties Thermal properties include heat resistance or combustibility. Thermoplastic has a larger coefficient of thermal expansion or combustibility and a smaller thermal conductivity or specific heat than other material such as metals. Chemical properties Chemical resistance, environmental stress crack resistance , or resistance to environmental change are referred as chemical properties.When a plastic contacts chemicals, there is some kind of change. After having a plastic in contacted with chemicals under no stress for about a week, changes in appearance, weight and size of the plastic are examined. Such changes are referred to as chemical properties. Electric properties Electric properties are also referred to as electromagnetic properties. Electric properties include insulation, conductivity and electro-static charges.Due to their good insulation property, plastics are often used in electric fields. However, plastics do have a defect; they are easily electrified. Physical properties Specific gravity, index of refraction and moisture absorption are called physical properties.The specific gravity of t
