  2. List of synthetic polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymers

    The plastic kits and covers are mostly made of synthetic polymers like polythene, and tires are manufactured from polybutadienes. [1] However, due to the environmental issues created by these synthetic polymers which are mostly non-biodegradable and often synthesized from petroleum, alternatives like bioplastics are also being considered.

  3. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

    Polyethylene absorbs almost no water; the gas and water vapour permeability (only polar gases) is lower than for most plastics. Oxygen, carbon dioxide and flavorings, on the other hand, can pass it easily. Polyethylene burns slowly with a blue flame having a yellow tip and gives off an odour of paraffin (similar to candle flame). The material ...

  4. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. [47] Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [48] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope.

  5. Polyvinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_acetate

    The stiff homopolymer PVAc, but mostly the softer copolymer, a combination of vinyl acetate and ethylene, vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE), is also used in paper coatings, paint and other industrial coatings, as a binder in nonwovens in glass fibers, sanitary napkins, filter paper and in textile finishing.

  6. Rulon (plastic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulon_(plastic)

    Rulon is the trade name for a family of PTFE plastics produced by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics. Rulon plastics are known for their low coefficient of friction, excellent abrasion resistance, wide range of operating temperatures, and chemical inertness.

  7. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

    It has some of the properties of a low-density polyethylene but increased gloss (useful for film), softness and flexibility. The material is generally considered non-toxic. The EVA copolymer which is based on a medium proportion of VA (approximately 4 to 30%) is referred to as thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and is a ...

  8. Plastic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_coating

    Plastic coating is a term that is commonly used in technology but is nevertheless ambiguous. It can be understood to mean the coating of plastic (e.g., metallization of plastics [ 1 ] ) or the coating of other materials (e.g., electrical cable ) with plastics.

  9. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    There are two alkyl chains commonly used in surfactants: polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide. Polyethylene oxide chains have an oxygen and two carbon (-O-CH 2-CH 2-) n repeating unit and has an increased hydrophilic character compared to hydrocarbons. Polypropylene oxide has the same backbone structure as polyethylene oxide but with a ...
