Best for
- Snap-fits, living hinges, and compliant mechanisms (the polypropylene-like grade)
- Stiff, creep-resistant jigs, fixtures, and enclosures (the ABS-like grade)
- Ductile, impact-resistant parts that get squeezed or slide against each other (the HDPE-like grade)
Not the right choice for
- Sustained heat (the HDPE-like grade)
