Smarter Materials™: High-Performance Thermoplastics,” our newest eBook, is now available. While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C. The heat destroys many pigments used in engineering thermoplastics.
