Plastics are made from synthetic carbon polymers, often with oxygen and nitrogen atoms included at regular intervals in the main polymer chain.

Plastics are made from fossil hydrocarbons, and carbon fiber, made by pyrolysis of synthetic polyester fibers is used to reinforce plastics to form advanced, lightweight composite materials.

Plastics are really the final product, created after one or more polymers or additives have been added to a resin during processing, which is then shaped into a final form.

Plastics are generally classified as " commodity ", " specialty " and " engineering " plastics.

Plastics used in skylights are UV stabilized and may feature other advances to improve thermal properties.

Plastics are not used for the outermost elements of all but the cheapest lenses as they scratch easily.

Major plants are operated by Nissan Shatai, Yokohama Rubber Company, Canon, Furukawa Electric, Kansai Paint, and Mitsubishi Plastics.

Plastics with high BFR concentrations are costly to handle or to discard, whereas plastics with levels below 0. 1 % have value as recyclable materials.

Plastics may also be welded by induction, if they are either doped with ferromagnetic ceramics ( where magnetic hysteresis of the particles provides the heat required ) or by metallic particles.

Plastics are used for the lowest burst pressures, aluminum and copper for somewhat higher levels and mild steel and stainless steel for the highest burst pressures.

Plastics began to replace wood and metal in existing products as well, and today plastics are the most widely used manufacturing materials.

These instruments are made under license by Indiana Plastics of Elkhart, Indiana, and are marketed under the trade name Xaphoon Pocket Sax.

Plastics and polymers may be added to bind powders of explosive compounds ; waxes may be incorporated to make them safer to handle ; aluminium powder may be introduced to increase total energy and blast effects.

Today, SABIC Innovative Plastics is a multi-billion-dollar company with operations in more than 25 countries and over 9, 500 employees worldwide.
