  8. Definitions and History ©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association

  9. Plastic • A material that contains organic, polymeric substances of large molecular weight, is solid in its finished state, and at some stage in its manufacture or processing into a finished article, can be shaped by flow 9 - Introduction ©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association

  10. Water analogy: Thermoplastics, similar to water, can be heated and cooled repeatedly without any change in the material’s basic properties. (i.e., recyclable) Thermoplastic • A plastic that can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the plastic, and that in the softened state, can be shaped by flow into an article by molding or extrusion 10 - Introduction ©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association

  11. Egg analogy: Thermosets, similar to eggs, can be processed only once with changes occurring in the material’s basic properties. Thermoset • A plastic that, when cured by application of heat or by chemical means, changes into a substantially infusible and product 11 - Introduction ©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association

  12. Monomer • A relatively simple compound that can react to form a polymer Polymer • A substance consisting of molecules characterized by the repetition of one or more types of monomeric units Copolymer • A polymer formed by the polymerization of two chemically different monomers 12 - Introduction ©2003, 2004, 2005 - Plastics Pipe and Fittings Association
