Plastics are synthetic or natural long-chain organic materials with near infinite applications.
Most plastics have the following general characteristics: provides a high degree of resistance to chemicals, can act as thermal and electrical insulators, can be light and vary in strength, and can be processed into thin and/or intricate forms. Gelest, Inc. offers a variety of products that can alter the properties of plastics or aid in their fabrications. Some examples include:
Conventional silicones as plasticizers, mold release agents, and in PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) RTV (room temperature vulcanization) systems.
