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 offers a variety of products that can alter the properties of plastics or aid in their fabrications.
