Abstract

It is known that a special chapter in product design is dedicated to the materials from which these products are going to be manufactured. Plastics (thermoplastic polymers, thermo-reactive polymers and elastomers) along with classical materials or composite materials are the basis for designing and making products. They are found in all sectors of industrial activity. Products are required to meet certain minimum resistance conditions for the requirements they will be subjected to, throughout their use, low manufacturing costs, etc.[1]. The better the material properties of a product are known, the better the design and manufacture of products respond to market requirements. The paper highlights the most important properties and areas of use of the currently most used thermoplastic polymers in designing and manufacturing of industrial products (polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, methyl polymethacrylate, polyamides, polycarbonates, cellulose acetate, polyoxymethylenes and thermoplastic polyurethanes).
