| Material | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| ABS | Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a hard, rigid, thermoplastic polymer. It provides good chemical and creep resistance, and dimensional stability. ABS is used in many industries and in a wide array of applications. It is generally inexpensive, but prone to cracking under stress. Common trade names include Cycolac® (GE Plastics), Lustran® (Bayer), and Novodur® (Bayer). | ||
| Aluminum | Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Fiberglass | Fiberglass is strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. | ||
| Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
| Steel | Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
| Polycarbonate | Polycarbonate is an amorphous material with excellent impact strength, clarity, and optical properties. Polycarbonate has excellent mechanical properties and can be molded to tight tolerances. Solvents and petrochemicals attack polycarbonate; its weatherability is only adequate. Common brand names include: Caliber® (Dow), Lexan® (GE), Makrofol®, and Makrolon® (Bayer). | ||
| Polystyrene | Polystyrene is a thermoplastic known for its rigidity, hardness, heat, and dimensional stability as well as for ease of fabrication. | ||
| Other | Other unspecified materials. | ||
