Polymer Type |
| Thermoplastic |
Advantages |
| Can be used in applications where light transmission is desired. |
Disadvantages |
| Tends to have a slight tint. Has reduced tensile strength flexural modulus, elongation at break, notched izod impact strength and heat distortion temperature compared with ABS (medium impact). |
