HEY DEAR.....!!
Advantages
Thermoplastics are well suited for many different types of uses, because they have high strength, are lightweight and have relatively low processing costs. In addition, it's relatively easy to manufacture thermoplastic components quickly in high volumes with high precision. Sometimes engineers use thermoplastics instead of metals because of their much lighter weight.
Disadvantages
The primary disadvantage of using thermoplastics instead of materials like metal is that thermoplastics can melt. Some types of low-quality thermoplastics melt when they're exposed to ultraviolet light for extended times. In addition, thermoplastics can have poor resistance to organic solvents, hydrocarbons and highly polar solvents. Thermoplastics are sometimes the victim of creep, which is when the material relaxes or weakens when exposed to long-term loading. Some types of thermoplastics, such as composites, fracture instead of becoming deformed when exposed to high levels of stress.
