High Modulus Plastic Sheet

Tensile modulus of elasticity.

High modulus plastic sheet.

Use our interactive properties table below to explore by property group sort or compare two or more plastic materials. If your application has a large amount of movement then a low modulus sealant may be better. 4 8 out of. If you use a low modulus silicone then the silicone may tear as the bath moves and the bath will leak.

A high modulus sealant will stretch as the bath moves and flex back as the weight in the bath is lifted. It has desirable toughness properties performing well at extreme temperatures and under fatigue endurance. The tensile modulus is the ratio of stress to elastic strain in tension. For chemically resistant plastic view our chemical resistance of plastics chart.

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene uhmwpe uhmw is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene also known as high modulus polyethylene hmpe it has extremely long chains with a molecular mass usually between 3 5 and 7 5 million amu. Rigid plastics especially fiber reinforced ones often exhibit values under 5. In the us customary units it is expressed as pounds. Beth figliulo tom zozokos.

It is called as modulus of elasticity in bending but other names are also used such as modulus of elasticity elastic modulus or simply modulus. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. Modulus of rigidity shear modulus modulus of rigidity is the elasticity coefficient for shearing or torsion force plastics abbreviations commonly used plastic abbreviations poisson s ratio when a material is stretched in one direction it tends to get thinner in the other two directions. The international standard unit of flexural modulus is the pascal pa or n m 2 or m 1 kg s 2.

Units of modulus of elasticity young s modulus are. Marine board hdpe high density polyethylene plastic sheet 1 4 x 12 x 24 black color textured pack 4 5 0 out of 5 stars 6. More buying choices 31 90 2 new offers seaboard light high density polyethylene sheet matte finish 3 8 thick 12 length x 12 width black. Acetal plastic sheet rod tube and accessories acetal polyoxymethylene or pom provided by interstate plastics is a tough machinable thermoplastic with a high modulus of elasticity high strength good rigidity dimensional stability and resistance to moisture chemicals and solvents.

Exploring the chemical makeup product types and future uses of these highly durable materials. Also you may want to use our plastic material selection guide or interactive thermoplastics triangle to assist with the material selection process based on your application requirements. Sealant being applied to a cart light surround. The practical units used in plastics are megapascals mpa or n mm 2 or gigapascals gpa or kn mm 2 in the united states customary units it is often expressed as pounds force per square inch psi.
