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 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.
Plastic includes numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
Polycarbonate is an amorphous material with excellent impact strength, clarity, and optical properties. Polycarbonate has excellent mechanical properties and can be molded to tight tolerances. Solvents and petrochemicals attack polycarbonate; its weatherability is only adequate. Common brand names include: Caliber® (Dow), Lexan® (GE), Makrofol® and Makrolon® (Bayer).
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).
