| − | ** Plastics:
| |
| − | *** ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
| |
| − | *** Acrylic (also known as Plexiglas, Lucite, PMMA)
| |
| − | *** Delrin (POM, acetal)
| |
| − | *** High density polyethylene (HDPE) – melts badly
| |
| − | *** Kapton tape (Polyimide)
| |
| − | *** Mylar (polyester)
| |
| − | *** Nylon – melts badly
| |
| − | *** PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
| |
| − | *** Polyethylene (PE) – melts badly
| |
| − | *** Polypropylene (PP) – melts somewhat
| |
| − | *** Styrene
| |
| − | *** Two-tone acrylic – top color different than core material, usually for custom instrumentation panels, signs, and plaques.
| |
| − | ** Foam:
| |
| − | *** Depron foam – often used for RC planes.
| |
| − | *** EPM
| |
| − | *** Gator foam – foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard shell.
| |
| − | ** Other:
| |
| − | *** Cloths (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton)
| |
| − | *** Papers
| |
| − | *** Rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine Teflon (PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene)
| |
| − | *** Woods (MDF, balsa, birch, poplar, red oak, cherry, holly, etc.)
