Plastics used in furniture

Plastic Laminates: are composed of layers of heavy paper impregnated with melamine resin.

Acrylics: such as Plexiglas and Lucite, resemble glass in their transparency, but can be made translucent and colored, and opaque. Acrylics can be bent and molded into curved shapes.

Molded Plastics: such as styrene, polyethylene, nylon, and vinyl, are often made into small parts, such as glides, rollers, edge trim, and drawer pulls.

Fiberglass: a hybrid material in which glass fibers are embedded in a molded polyester resin. Used to make custom auto body parts and small boat hulls.
