Delivering Lightweight, Strong Solutions for High-Performance Applications

Elevate Your Products

Thermoplastics offer a range of benefits that make them the material of choice for numerous industries. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, thermoplastics provide a high strength-to-weight ratio that enhances performance while reducing overall weight. Their inherent corrosion resistance and durability ensure longevity and reliability, even in the most demanding environments. Thermoplastics are also highly versatile, allowing for repeated melting and reshaping without losing their chemical properties. At Re:Build Oribi, we harness the advantages of thermoplastics to deliver innovative, high-performance composite solutions tailored to the specific needs of your application. Explore how our advanced thermoplastic composites can elevate your products and drive your success.

Thermoplastics:

Revolutionizing Durability & Design

Thermoplastics vs. Thermosets

Thermoplastics, with their ability to be repeatedly reshaped and recycled, offer greater versatility and efficiency compared to thermosets, which become rigid and inflexible after curing. This adaptability makes thermoplastics a more practical choice for a wide range of modern applications, emphasizing sustainability and ease of use.

Thermosets and thermoplastics are two distinct classes of polymers, each with unique characteristics and applications:

Thermoplastics

Thermosets are polymers that, once cured through heat or chemical processes, form irreversible bonds. This curing process creates a rigid, inflexible structure that can withstand high temperatures and chemical exposure. Common applications for thermosets include electronic components, adhesives, and coatings where durability and heat resistance are crucial.

Thermosets

Thermoplastics are polymers that become pliable when heated and solidify upon cooling. This reversible process allows thermoplastics to be melted and reshaped multiple times without altering their chemical properties. Their versatility, recyclability, and ease of processing make thermoplastics ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive parts, medical devices, consumer goods, and packaging.

Thermoplastics vs. Metallics

Thermoplastics and metallics each offer its own benefits depending on the application. While metallics provide exceptional strength and durability, thermoplastic composites stand out for their lightweight, versatile, and easily moldable properties.

Thermoplastics and metallics are distinct materials used across various industries, each offering unique properties and advantages:

Metallics

Metallics are materials composed of metal elements that exhibit high strength, durability, and thermal conductivity. Metals are typically heavier than thermoplastics and require more complex processing techniques such as casting, forging, and machining. They are favored in applications where extreme strength, rigidity, and heat resistance are essential, such as in aerospace, construction, and heavy machinery.

Thermoplastics

Thermoplastics are lightweight, versatile polymer composites that become pliable when heated and solidify upon cooling. This characteristic allows them to be melted and reshaped multiple times without losing their chemical integrity. Thermoplastics Composites are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing. They are commonly used in applications such as automotive components, medical devices, consumer goods, and packaging.
