Identification of materials Plastics are divided into 2 main groups; meltable (thermoplastics) and non-meltable Thermoplastics are cast or injection moulded and unlike thermosets they lack bonds between the plastic molecules. Thermoplastics can be recycled with good results. Thermoplastic recycling is a good way to conserve base materials and save money. There are different types of thermoplastics and it is important to keep them separate during recycling work so that the mechanical properties of the recycled material are not impaired. Certain material combinations can be compensated using additives that make the plastics miscible. Mixing in new base material can also improve the prop- Parts made of thermoplastic Parts made of thermosets 03:03-00 Issue 1 en-GB 1 (22) © Scania CV AB 2012, Sweden Identification of materials Examples of plastics that are not suitable for mixing are listed i
