physical properties definitions

Fusibility

The ability of a material to be converted from a solid to a liquid/molten state, typically by heat, essential for metal casting.

Density

The mass of a material in a given volume, often compared to the density of pure water at 4˚C.

Chemical resistance

The capacity of a material to withstand damage from chemical reactions or solvents.

Corrosion/degradation resistance

The material's ability to endure environmental attacks and decay.

Impervious to gases

The material cannot be penetrated by gases like oxygen or carbon dioxide, making sealed containers airtight.

Non-toxic

A substance that does not cause immediate or long-term adverse health effects.

Pigment colored

Material that is colored during manufacturing, with the color permeating throughout the material.
