Materials
ABS is a family of thermoplastics based on acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene combined by a variety of methods involving polymerization, graft copolymerization, physical mixtures and combinations thereof.
Commonly known as Acetal, polyoxymethylene (POM) is a thermoplastic produced by the addition polymerization of aldehydes through the carbonyl function, yielding unbranched polyoxymethylene chains of great length.
Acrylic or Polymethyl Methacrylate is a transparent thermoplastic often used as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Chemically, it is the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate.
The term amino plastic covers a range of resinous polymers produced by the interaction of amines or amides with aldehydes. The two most important variations are Melamine Formaldehyde (MF) and Urea Formaldehyde (UF).
