     Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
 
   Steel
 
     Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
 
   Stainless Steel
 
     Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
 
   Fiberglass
 
     Fiberglass is strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures.

   ABS
 
     Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a hard, rigid, thermoplastic polymer. It provides good chemical and creep resistance, and dimensional stability. ABS is used in many industries and in a wide array of applications. It is generally inexpensive, but prone to cracking under stress. Common trade names include Cycolac® (GE Plastics), Lustran® (Bayer) and Novodur® (Bayer).
 
   Polystyrene
 
     Polystyrene is a thermoplastic known for its rigidity, hardness, heat and dimensional stability as well as for ease of fabrication.
