The different properties of various types of plastic mean that there is a suitable solution for various applications. A plug, for example, must be slightly flexible to find its way in the drilled hole and expand when a cavity anchor is driven or screwed in. It is different for a pressure plate that must not deform when loaded with a heavy construction element.
