Plastic does not exist in its natural state: it is a synthetic product. There are two main families of plastics:
Thermoplastics: they soften when heated and harden again on cooling
Thermosets: they are heat resistant but are destroyed without melting if the temperature is raised too high
THEIR BENEFITS
7x lighter than steel: weight or mass saving
Thermal, mechanical and chemical resistance
Excellent electrical insulator
Recycling allows for chemical reuse or energy recovery
Stainless: suitable for freshwater, sea water, salt spray…
Eliminates the risk of corrosion
Very limited risk of seizure
