Container Material


	Container Material
	Your choices are...
	ABS		Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a hard, rigid, thermoplastic polymer. It provides good chemical and creep resistance as well as dimensional stability. ABS is used in many industries and in a wide array of applications. It is usually inexpensive, but prone to cracking when under stress. Common trade names include Cycolac^® (GE Plastics), Lustran^® (Bayer) and Novodur^® (Bayer).
	Acrylic / Plexiglas		Acrylics are formed through the polymerization of acrylic monomers and used in molding and extrusion compounds. Plexiglas acrylic sheets are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, thicknesses, and sizes.
	Aluminum		Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light trivalent metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Cardboard		Like paper, cardboard is made from wood pulp; however, it is usually thicker.
	Composite / Fiberglass		Composite materials such as fiberglass are strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures. Fiberglass fabrics are used widely in industrial applications.
	Concrete / Stone		Concrete is a hard, strong building material that is made by mixing a cementing material, an aggregate (such as sand and gravel), and water to cause the cement to set and bind the entire mass.
	Fabric / Cloth		This category includes fabrics such as cotton, canvas, and synthetic fabrics.
	Foam / Styrofoam®		Foam is a lightweight material created by introducing gas bubbles into a polymer. The resulting cellular product has good insulating characteristics as well as good impact resistance. Styrofoam^®is a registered trademark of Dow Chemical Company.
	Glass		Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates. It is usually transparent or translucent. Glass is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
	Metallized Film		Metallized film is a plastic film that has been coated on one side with a very thin layer of metal.
	Paper		Paper is made of cellulose pulp.
	Plastic		Plastics are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight. Plastics can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Polyethylene (PE)		Polyethylene (PE) is a semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic that is soft, flexible and tough, even at low temperatures. It has outstanding electrical properties, but poor temperature resistance. PE also has very good chemical resistance, but is prone to environmental stress cracking. It has poor ultraviolet (UV) resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water.
	Polypropylene (PP)		Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic material with excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC, but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone.
	PTFE - Teflon®		Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon^®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
	PVC		Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material with good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP^® and Dural^® (Alpha Gary), Geon^® (Geon), Benvic^® (Solvay), and Flexalloy^® (Teknor Apex).
	Steel		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by both its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Steel - Stainless		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Steel - Wire		Materials are made of inter-twined wire that forms a container or barrier.
	Wood		Wood is a naturally grown product of trees.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary materials.
