O mea palasitika mata e mautu pe elastomeric i le vevela o le potu, ma o mea mata e vevela i le taimi o le gaosiga e faʻaliliu ai i latou i le sua, sua vai. E mafai ona vaevaeina palasitika i "thermoplastics" ma "thermosets" e tusa ai ma o latou uiga gaosiga.
"Thermoplastics" e mafai ona fa'avevela ma fa'atusa i le tele o taimi ma mafai ona toe fa'aaogaina. E sua e pei o le slime ma e faifai malie le liusuavai. E masani ona fa'aogaina thermoplastics o PE, PP, PVC, ABS, ma isi. Thermosets fa'amausali tumau pe a fa'avevela ma fa'alili. O le filifili mole mole e fausia ai fusi faʻamaʻi ma avea ma se fausaga mautu, e tusa lava pe toe faʻamafanafanaina, e le mafai ona oʻo atu i se tulaga vai liusuavai. Epoxies ma pa'u o fa'ata'ita'iga o palasitika thermoset.
O nisi nei o ituaiga masani ma faʻamatalaga o faiga faʻapipiʻi palasitika: faʻapipiʻi palasitika (paʻu paʻu, faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi, faʻasolosolo faʻasolosolo), faʻafefe faʻafefe, faʻapipiʻi palasitika, faʻamalama palasitika (faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi, vacuum forming), palasitika tui faʻapipiʻi, palasitika Uila (fesoʻotaʻiga. u'elo, fa'alava leisa), fa'afu'a palasitika
