Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?) Thermoplastic materials are not molecularly cross-linked and can be reprocessed or recycled. Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.   

By eliminating staining or painting of wood or metal parts, we can help you reduce production costs, increase your design freedom, and improve efficiency while meeting market demand for low maintenance outdoor products. 

Other textural influences include the colorful layers of rusted paint on boat bottoms, and the choppy nature of crashing surf.

This striking new line finally meets the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish, and may even help customers to replace metal parts or plating for plastic parts.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are a diverse family of rubber-like materials that can be repeatedly melt processed. This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material.
