What is polyethylene plastic?
polyethylene plastic is a cheap plastic material that is chemically resistant and can be very durable. Polyethylene plastic is supplied in the form of low density and in the form of high density. The form of low density was discovered first, followed a few years later in the form of high density. LDPE is made of oil. It has less strength and shows greater flexibility than polyethylene plastic with high density. As soon as they were discovered, they began to process polymer material and provided it with the name "polyethylene". It is used for coating submarine cables and during this time played an important factor in war effort and increased the performance of submarines. Over the next few years, other companies have become licensed and have been able to produce LDPE.The garbage for garbage or sandwich bags are produced using LDPE. LDPE is used to produce dispensing bottles and various laboratory devices. It is used to produce containers, containers and food storage. Recycling is possible with this particular form of plastic, but loses part of yourQuality for the second time.
Only in 1951 was a high density plastic (HDPE) discovered by two chemists, Paul Hogan and Robert Banks. Because LDPE was not the easiest to work with it, they began to experiment. Soon they discovered crystalline polypropylene experiment with high octane gasoline.
From there they found a way to make crystalline polypropylene and HDPE. HDPE is made of oil and is significantly stronger than LDPE. HDPE can be welded and often occurs in larger plastic objects due to its strength and durability. One of the first things HDPE was used to produce Hula Hoop.
HDPE can be found in folding tables and chairs, storage shelters and snowboard tracks and boxes. Stronger pieces of plastic such as plumbing, car fittings and storage containers are produced by HDPE. Some HDPE containers can be used to store food and are consideredfor a safe dishwasher. HDPE can be recycled, but like LDPE, it also loses part of its quality a second time.
Polyethylene plastic was discovered randomly through experiments many years ago. Now it can be found in almost everything we use in modern life. It is one of the most popular plastics in the world.
