The document discusses common thermoplastics used for injection molding like high impact polystyrene, acrylic, and polycarbonate. It notes that these materials are suitable for injection molding because they can be heated, pressurized, and molded into different shapes, and become hard and corrosion resistant after solidifying. The document compares injection molding, where plastic fills a pre-made mold, to blow molding, where hot air is used to shape plastic against the mold instead of forcing it in, making blow molding better for objects like containers.

b]Acrylic c]Polycarbonate d]PVC e]PETG 2. It is suitable because they are thermoplastics that can be heated and pressurised then moulded to form different shapes And after they solidify that are hard ,they are also corrosion resistant tasteless . 3. The difference between the two is that while injection moulding is conducted with an already made full shape of the object the plastic is forced to fill the mould therefore making the desired shape. However in blow moulding it is different whereby instead of the plastic being forced into an already made mould the plastic is blasted with air sometimes hot and warm depending on the plastic to fit its mould. This is why blow mould is used on objects like containers.
