Plastic granules can be generally divided into 200 kinds. If subdivide, there are
thousand of kinds plastics. Then why do we use polyethylene as raw material?
Let’s study characteristics of some plastics. Compare and we will know.
Polyethylene PE
When uncolored, it is milky white translucent and waxy. It feels creamy when
touch its products, pliable and tough. It can be slightly stretched. Usually
low-density polyethylene is relatively soft, with good transparency. High-density
polyethylene is quite hard.
Common products: handbags, pipes, drums, bottles (calcium milk bottle), and
other daily necessities.
Polyethylene is generally used to produce plastic bags, protective film, cling wrap
because it is soft and non-toxic. It is environmentally friendly. Use polyethylene as
raw material of protective film, we don’t need to worry about environment pollution.
Polypropylene PP
When uncolored, it is white translucent and waxy. It is lighter than polyethylene.
Transparency and rigidity are also better than polyethylene.
Common products: pots, barrels, furniture, film, weaving bags, caps, car bumpers
and so on.
Polystyrene PS
When uncolored, it is transparent. When its products fall to the ground or beat
them, you can hear the crisp sound of metal. Its gloss and transparency is very
good, just like glass, brittle and easily broken. You can make scratches on the
surface of its products with fingernail. Modified polystyrene is opaque.
Common products: stationery, cups, food containers, appliance housings, electrical
accessories, etc.
Polystyrene is used to make plastic products, such as the mouse and keyboard,
hard and brittle. Synthetic plastics containing polystyrene is normally used to
produce plastic products, which are with better performance. At high temperatures
it will produce toxic substances.
Polyvinyl chloride PVC
Natural color is slightly yellow translucent and shiny. Transparency is better than
polyethylene and polystyrene, but worse than polystyrene. With different additives,
it is divided into soft and hard PVC. Soft products are pliable and tough and it feels
sticky. The hardness of hard products are higher than low-density polyethylene, but
lower than polypropylene. The folding part will appear bleaching.
Common products: plates, pipes, shoe soles, toys, doors and windows, wire jacket,
stationery, etc.
