Plastics are extremely versatile materials due to their excellent properties.

This versatility can be seen in the most diverse applications, with plastics able to assume a rigid or flexible, transparent, translucent or opaque form (the possibilities are practically infinite), in which their main characteristics are:

– Their lightness, due to their relatively low density 

– High flexibility and impact resistance 

– They are hygienic and aseptic, ideal for use in packaging, particularly in the food industry 

– Low Processing Temperature 

– Thermal insulation, allowing substantial reduction of energy losses, enabling gains in the reduction of energy expenditures 

– Electrical insulation

– They are resistant to corrosion, making them durable and suitable for use in aggressive environments, also requiring a lower level of maintenance compared to any other traditional material

– Recyclable 

– Can be designed to have limited durability (biodegradable plastics) 

– Among many other characteristics
