Plastic Material Properties

Explore the physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties of various plastic materials. Research plastics properties for amorphous, semi-crystalline or imidized materials. Each material page includes detailed properties for a specific plastic. To help you evaluate which materials are best suited for your needs, the list includes common plastic materials for high performance and challenging environments, engineering applications, and general commodity use.

The ASTM Test results shown for each property were derived from the standard formulation of each material with the result displayed in the unit of measure specified. If you need properties data associated with a specialty grade, formulation, or vendor brand, data sheets with specific test results are available through our Technical Resources library.

• For a descriptive explanation of each property see our Plastic Material Properties Descriptions.
• Narrow down your choices with our Plastic Material Selection Guide or Thermoplastic Triangle.
• For more information about each material, Research Materials.
