Heat-resistant plastic?

Heat resistant plastic is made of polymers created from petroleum and hydrocarbon atoms. Polymerization creates two types of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosets. They can be molded into various products, including engine components and fire fighting equipment. Thermoplastics can be recycled, while thermosets are heat-resistant and used in high heat applications. Additives can improve material properties. […]

Heat-resistant glass: what is it?

Heat resistant glass is used in industrial, construction, and cooking applications to prevent thermal shock. Borosilicate glass has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and is used for laboratory equipment, trays, and serving dishes. Tempered glass is stronger and used in cookware and fireplace screens. Glass ceramic is used for hobs, fireplace screens, and fire-resistant […]

Best heat-resistant materials: how to choose?

Choosing the best heat resistant material depends on the specific application and source of heat. Metals are durable and have high tolerance to heat, while fabrics offer flexibility. Heat resistant boards may be needed in some cases, and rubber or plastic are suitable for low temperature situations. There are many different heat resistant materials available […]
