Dimensional Stability

Volume reduction that a plastic material experiences as it cools and solidifies inside a mold, which must be compensated for in the mold design.

Amount of water present in the material. Many resins absorb moisture from the environment, which can affect their quality and performance during molding.

Type of plastic that softens when heated and hardens when cooled, a process that can be repeated, allowing it to be molded or recycled.

Property that determines the plastic's resistance to flow and ability to deform. Vital in the manufacturing of plastic parts.
