Polymers can be different colours due to pigments being added
Polymers are cheap to buy and produce
polymers can be weather resistant and so are good for waterproof coatings
Polymers are also chemically resistant and corrosion resistant making them preferable to metals
Polymers can be reused
polymers have high elasticity meaning they stretch easily but return back to their original shape when the force is removed
polymers have low thermal conductivity which means they don't transfer heat well, this is useful as it makes them insulators
polymers have high tensile strength meaning that they can withstand tension without breaking
Polymers have low density - lightweight
