It has some rather good mechanical properties too. Its fusing point is 60-62°C. Its tensile strength is 580kg/cm² which is approx 58MPa, according to my engineering textbook UHMWPE's tensile strength is between 38.6 and 48.3MPa.
Its commercial designation is CAPA 680 (spec 118310) and its chemical name is Caprolactone polymer or Oxepanone polymer
If this plastic (Polymorph) is heated above 65°C its properties becomes very similar to hot-melt glue.
Also thank you Danny for a good event.
