Commonly used Materials
| Nylon |
Nylon refers to a family of thermoplastics known as polyamides. It is a synthetic fabric processed from petroleum derivatives and is used in end number of products, used in daily life, because of its light weight, incredible tensile strength, durability, and resistance to damage.

| Polycarbonate |
Polycarbonates are a group of lightweight, high-performance thermoplastic polymers commercially available under the trade names Lexan and Makrolon. PolycarbonateEngineering grade polycarbonates possesses very high heat resistance, tensile strength and creep resistance and are quite stiff. Also, they are quite resistant to scratch and display appropriately high melt flow index (MFI).

| Polyvinyl chloride |
Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC as it is more widely known is a versatile synthetic thermoplastic processed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride. It is the third mostwidely used thermoplastic after Polyethylene and Polypropylene.Its durability, resistance to fire, chemical compounds, solvents and stress makes it a very popular choice in engineering processes like casting, rotomolding and injection moulding.

| Polypropylene |
Polypropylene, also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer which enjoys extensive usage both industrially and in consumer goods. It is represented by the chemical formula C3H6 and is seen to be used both as a structural plastic and as a fiber.They are very resistant to high temperatures, fatigue and chemical reactions, hence make excellent choices for rotomolding processes.

| Polyethylene |
Polyethylene, or polythene as it is commonly called, are polymer consisting of long chains of the monomer ethylene processed by polymerization of ethene. These thermoplastic commodity is probably the most widely used type of plastic with an annual production that exceeds 80 million metric tons approximately.
