- ABS plastic is an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer that is chemically resistant, strong, and easy to mold.
- PP plastic – polypropylene, acid and alkali resistance, and a wide temperature range. However, the power is slightly lower.
- POM plastic is polyoxymethylene with high durability and a low coefficient of friction.
- PVC plastic – polyvinyl chloride – is resistant to corrosion but not to high temperatures.
- PET plastic – polyethylene terephthalate – has a high hardness, resistance to corrosion, and other properties.
- PTFE plastic – polytetrafluoroethylene – has excellent chemical stability, high temperature, and corrosion resistance.
- Polyurethane material with great strength and toughness but low solvent resistance.
- PC plastic – polycarbonate with a high gloss and mechanical robustness.
- PEEK material – polyether ether ketone – has a high temperature and corrosion resistance but is more expensive.
Are Plastic Caps the Unsung Heroes of Product Packaging?
Plastic caps may be the most inconspicuous yet critical components among the numerous things we buy and use on a daily basis. They silently guard the necks of bottles, performing numerous functions such as product protection, ease of use, and environmental recycling. Today, let’s look at these little plastic caps and how they play an important part in product packaging.
