PP material - Strong and chemical resistant

 

Advantages: strong and crashworthy, high hardness, resistance to organic solvents and acid and alkali corrosion, high-temperature resistance

 

Disadvantages: bulky

 

Compared with other plastics, PP material is bulkier, but it is resistant to various chemical substances and high temperatures. In addition, the crashworthiness is better, and the protection of the luggage is enhanced.

 

ABS material - Scratch-resistant, the most affordable price

 

Advantages: drop-resistant and crash-resistant, high hardness, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, non-slip, cheap

 

Disadvantages: Insufficient toughness, easy to break, easy to brittle and crack in cold climates

 

100% pure PC material - The best plastic

 

Advantages: compression resistance, shock resistance, impact resistance, cold and heat resistance, light box body, not easy to break, colorful

 

Disadvantages: not scratch-resistant, expensive

 

PC+ABS material - Highest CP value, mainstream on the market

 

Advantages: impact resistance, high hardness, good elasticity, good resistance to cold and heat, light box, colorful

 

Disadvantages: not scratch-resistant, slightly higher price

 

Plastic boxes are lighter than aluminum-magnesium alloys, stronger than shell boxes, and easier to repair. At present, the best plastic material for suitcases on the market is pure PC material, but unfortunately, the price is too expensive; while ABS material is highly hardness, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and cheap, the disadvantage is that it lacks toughness and is easy to break.

 

The PC+ABS material that combines the two is just the middle value. The crash resistance, elasticity, and price are all in the middle, and the CP value is high. It is suitable for friends who like a variety of colors, beauty, and practicality.

 

Aluminum-magnesium alloy material - Strong the first choice

 

Advantages: higher strength, better shock resistance, impact resistance, and fall resistance, excellent protection effect, better moisture resistance

 

Disadvantages: Heavy empty; expensive; hard to repair if suitcase warped or cracked
