When conventional thermoplastics can’t measure up, high-performance thermoplastics can meet the most stringent requirements. Which types of applications call for high-performance thermoplastics? In high-performance thermoplastics, color can be achieved in two ways: 1.

Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?) Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.
