Use our interactive properties table below to explore by property group, sort, and compare plastic materials. Also, you may want to use our Plastic Material Selection Guide or Interactive Thermoplastics Triangle to assist with the material selection process based on your application requirements.
Definitions, online calculator and figures and tables with water properties like density, specific weight and thermal expansion coefficient of liquid water at temperatures ranging 0 to 360°C (32 to 680°F).
The following table provides a comprehensive list of density values for different polymers and plastics at standard room temperature (approximately 20°C or 68°F) and 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
For solids and liquids, specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a material to the density of water at 4°C which is taken as 1.0 (since one cc of water weighs one gram). For example, a solid or liquid with a density of 1.5g/cc has a specific gravity of 1.5/1 or 1.5.
