Plasteel was a hard material that had a variety of uses. For example, interior doors could be made of plasteel.^[1] The red Kaleesh mask worn by Sidon Ithano was also made of plasteel,^[2] as were certain parts of Darth Vader's helmet.^[3] The Knight of Ren Cardo wore plasteel-armored greaves. Plasteel was also used for treads, such as the 125-Z treadspeeder bike.^[4] The material could also be used in reconstructive surgery; by placing a plasteel sleeve over a fused bone segment, a surgeon would lend it enough strength so it was as sturdy as the original bone. Similarly, a plasteel mask could be attached over newly reshaped facial muscles.^[5]

The young rebel Ezra Bridger sometimes referred to Imperial stormtroopers as "plasteel pigs,"^[6] although their distinctive white armors were actually made of plastoid.^[7] Nevertheless, plasteel had high strength, and made capable armor; M3 Bulwark Blast Shields were made out of sheets of reinforced plasteel, and were capable of shrugging off blaster rifle fire and even shrapnel from grenades.^[8]
