Isitofu esibunjiweyo samalungu ngamalungu enziwe ngeplastiki ye-thermoplastic okanye i-thermosetting ngokusebenzisa inkqubo yokubumba inaliti. Zisetyenziswa kakhulu kumashishini afana neemoto, ombane, ezonyango, kunye nezixhobo zasekhaya. Ngokusekwe kuhlobo lwemathiriyeli, usetyenziso, kunye neempawu zesakhiwo, iinxalenye ezibunjiweyo zenaliti zinokuhlelwa ngokweendidi ezahlukeneyo, nganye inentsebenzo ekhethekileyo kunye neemeko zesicelo.
Ngokombono wezinto eziphathekayo, iinxalenye ezibunjiweyo zenaliti zihlulwe ngokuyintloko zibe ziinxalenye ze-thermoplastic kunye ne-thermoset. Iinxalenye ezibunjiweyo zenaliti ye-Thermoplastic, ezenziwe kwizinto ezifana ne-polypropylene (PP), i-polyethylene (PE), kunye ne-polystyrene (PS), zithambile ngokuthembekileyo ngokufudumeza okuphindaphindiweyo kwaye zifanelekile kwiindawo ezifuna ukuqina okuphezulu kunye nokuchasana kwempembelelo, njengezindlu zeplastiki kunye nezikhongozeli. Iinxalenye ezibunjiweyo zenaliti ye-Thermoset, ezenziwe ngezinto ezifana ne-phenolic resins kunye ne-epoxy resins, zinyangekile ngokungenakujikwa kwaye zibonelela ngokugqwesileyo ukumelana nobushushu kunye neempawu zokugquma. Ngokuqhelekileyo zisetyenziswa kwizinto zombane kunye neendawo ezivezwe kumaqondo obushushu aphezulu{3}.
Ngokusekwe kusetyenziso olucetywayo, iinxalenye ezibunjiweyo zenaliti zinokuhlelwa ngokwezakhiwo, ezisebenzayo kunye nezihombise. Iinxalenye zesakhiwo, ezifana nezibiyeli zemoto kunye ne-chassis yesixhobo, zibonelela ngenkxaso kunye noqhagamshelo. Amalungu asebenzayo, anjengeziqhagamshelo kunye neevalvu, zifuna iimpawu ezithile zomatshini okanye zombane. Iindawo zokuhombisa, ezifana neepaneli kunye namaqhosha, zibeka phambili imbonakalo kunye nokuziva, zihlala zihamba nge-electroplating kunye neenkqubo zokupeyinta ukunyusa i-aesthetics.
Isitofu esibunjiweyo samalungu anokwahlulwa abe ngamacandelo alula nantsokothileyo achanekileyo ngokusekwe kubume besakhiwo. Amalungu alula aqhelekile ziimilo eziqhelekileyo, ezifana neepleyiti ezisicaba okanye iisilinda, kwaye kulula ukuvelisa. Amalungu achanekileyo, kwelinye icala, abandakanya iindonga ezibhityileyo, ukufakwa, okanye imingxunya emininzi{2}, efuna ukuchaneka okuphezulu kakhulu kunye nokunyamezela. Ngokuqhelekileyo zifumaneka kwizixhobo zonyango kunye namacandelo e-microelectronic.
Ukwahlulwa kweendawo ezibunjiweyo zenaliti aziphembeleli kuphela inkqubo yazo yokuvelisa kodwa zikwamisela ukusetyenziswa kwazo kumashishini ahlukeneyo. Ukukhetha uhlobo oluchanekileyo lwecandelo elibunjiweyo lenaliti kwandisa ukusebenza kwemveliso kwaye kunciphise iindleko, kuyenza inyathelo elibalulekileyo kwimveliso yeshishini.
