Complete Table of Plastic Types
There are thousands of types of plastics in the world, each with different properties and uses.
For a clearer understanding, ReplastMD has brought together in a single table several hundred of the most commonly used plastic materials found in everyday life — from automotive components and industrial housings to household products, 3D printing, and packaging.
These materials are grouped according to their chemical family and welding behavior: olefins (PE, PP, TPO), styrenics (ABS, ASA, PS), polyamides, technical blends (PC/ABS, PA/PBT), bioplastics, and high-performance polymers (PEEK, PEI, PPS).
The list includes materials from modern production as well as classic compounds that have been used in industry for decades.
🔎 How this guide works:
- Each type of plastic in the table is clickable and leads to an individual page with detailed information about that material:
🔹 the full name and composition,
🔹 fields of use (automotive, industrial, household, technical, food-related, etc.),
🔹 melting temperature and welding recommendations,
🔹 compatibility with other types of plastic,
🔹 images and practical examples.
This database is created by ReplastMD — a workshop specialized in plastic welding and repair in Chișinău — and represents one of the most comprehensive collections of plastic materials presented in Romanian, with a focus on practical application, identification, and processing.
