Thermoplastic (Natural Gas)

A quality which allows a material to repeatedly soften when heated and harden when cooled. Typical of the thermoplastics family are the styrene polymers and copolymers, acrylics, cellulosics, polyethylenes, vinyls, nylons, and the various fluorocarbon materials.

Thermoplastic (Ozone Protection)

Becomes plastic on heating and hardens on cooling and can repeat these processes.
