Polypropylene

  • Good chemical resistance
  • Suitable for mild acids or alkalis
  • Decent heat resistance
  • Maintains stability at moderate temperatures
  • Lightweight and cost-effective
  • Limited resistance to strong solvents
  • May become brittle in low-temperature environments

Best for: General-purpose applications, household appliances, non-corrosive industrial equipment

Polyethylene

  • Low-density: flexible and impact-resistant
  • High-density: stiffer and more durable
  • Good chemical and moisture resistance
  • Non-toxic - suitable for food/medical equipment
  • Performs well in low temperatures
  • Lower heat resistance
  • Not ideal for high-temperature settings

Best for: Food-related equipment, medical devices, low-temperature applications

Polyamide

  • High mechanical strength and wear resistance
  • Suitable for high-stress or high-pressure applications
  • Good heat resistance
  • Can tolerate higher temperatures
  • Excellent oil resistance
  • Absorbs moisture easily
  • More expensive than other options

Best for: Automotive systems, machinery systems, high-stress applications

Polycarbonate

  • High impact resistance and transparency
  • Withstands extreme temperatures
  • Good UV resistance - perfect for outdoor use
  • Decent chemical resistance
  • May be affected by strong acids
  • More costly than other options
  • May scratch more easily

Best for: Outdoor applications, solar equipment, outdoor lighting, demanding environments
