Different forms of plastics come with different model numbers, like FP-00, FP-01, etc.. There are about 70 total different models of Ferozium plastic, but only a few are commercially and practically usable, as well as being cheaper to produce than just using ferozium or cerulium. Abilities: Certain types of ferozium plastic are able to resist and/or disperse great amounts of heat and plasma, and the variant cerulium plastic can shield items inside it from EMPs or electronic communication. Conditional Abilities (Optional): FP-02 is one of the most interesting models - able to redirect or disperse large amounts of heat and energy while remaining quite flexible and stretchy, with a texture similar to marine vinyl fabric. There is also a Cerulium variant of this, FP-C02. Both of these models are used to coat other devices to protect them from heat or EMPs. Certain police forces may use plastic bags made with FP-02 or FP-C02 to store evidence like energy weapons or data transmitters, respectfully, to make sure nothing happens to it even after it is obtained. It is widely agreed that FP-02 and its Cerulium variant are the most useful types of the viable metal plastics. FP-42 is a hard polymer composite that is useful in redirecting plasma, and as such, is often used in making cheaper energy weapons or plates for armor that can resist plasma blades. Some companies are even exploring FP-42's uses in toys for young Novakids. FP-C28 is a Cerulium plastic used in certain AI computer chips. These naturally break down over a time nearly equivalent to a human lifespan, and as such, it is used by a few companies specializing in the production of artificial beings that "grow", or gain access to different programs that were blocked by the FP-C28 chip until a certain portion was broken down. Limitations: It is risky to take any of these types of metal plastics in extremely cold temperatures. At about 50 degrees farenheit below freezing, the metal infused in the plastic begins to crystalize and separate from the plastic, causing whatever the device it's involved in to malfunction. This happens faster for softer polymers than harder ones. Additionally, the soft plastics, like FP-02, are as soft as human skin, and hard plastics, like FP-42, are only as tough as glitch skin. Thus, none of the plastics are very useful on their own for armor production. Some sources have investigated attaching the soft metal-plastic as sheets over shields to counteract plasma or EMPs up to a point, but the plastics often are torn up by even the simplest of ammo, making them near useless. Conditional Limitations (Optional): How does it work: By mixing in liquid Ferozium with different fractions of what was originally crude oil before undergoing distillation and refinement processes, one is able to make several types of plastics with properties of ferozium and its variants. Flavor text: These materials were first developed by an independent engineer working for the Godus Forces offshoot responsible for making the Ceruliites. He went on to found his own company, Metal Plastics Corp., after the Ceruliite program was officially brought down, which was later acquisitioned by Chyrock Alpha Enterprises, LLC, and renamed "PaliuCo". PaliuCo has expanded since then and has a Headquarters and Factory in Chimaka City, as the planet has rich amounts of crude oil and its neighboring moons have plenty of the necessary metals to make the FPs. Referenced Technologies (Optional): Metals lore Attainability: [Open] - Currently, the patent for the metal plastics is owned by PaliuCo., a recent acquisition of Chyrok Alpha Enterprises, LLC. Currently, they retain the rights over the production and use of these materials. However, the art to making these materials has long been available to the public, if you know where to look for it.
