We will introduce the types and characteristics of representative thermoplastic plastics.
Thermoplastic plastics are plastics that become soft when heated. Once softened, they can harden again upon cooling, which makes them excellent for processing such as molding. ■ Types and characteristics of thermoplastic plastics - Polyethylene (PE): The most widely produced plastic, used in items like shopping bags and food containers. - Polypropylene (PP): More heat-resistant than polyethylene, used in films and cases. - Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): Flame-resistant and durable, used in pipes and electrical wire coatings. - Fluororesin (PTFE): Excellent heat resistance, non-stick properties, and low friction characteristics.

An explanation of the types of plastics and their advantages and disadvantages."

basic information
■What is Plastic Plastic can be considered one of the types of resin, so plastic and resin are not different things. However, in Japan, the components of plastic are clearly defined by JIS, distinguishing resin as the raw material and plastic as the molded product. The process of making plastic involves extracting "naphtha" contained in crude oil through distillation, and from there, it goes through processes such as "polymerization" and "pelletizing," ultimately becoming plastic in a molding factory. *Quoted from the linked article.
