  2. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

    For example, since 2010 over US$200 billion has been invested in the United States in new plastic and chemical plants, stimulated by the low cost of raw materials. In the European Union (EU), too, heavy investments have been made in the plastics industry, which employs over 1.6-million people with a turnover of more than 360 billion euros per year.

  3. Plastics industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastics_Industry

    Besides plastics production, plastics engineering is an important part of the industrial sector. The latter field is dominated by engineering plastic as raw material because of its better mechanical and thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics.

  4. 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. They ...

  5. Raw material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_material

    The term raw material denotes materials in unprocessed or minimally processed states such as raw latex, crude oil, cotton, coal, raw biomass, iron ore, plastic, air, logs, and water. [1] The term secondary raw material denotes waste material which has been recycled and injected back into use as productive material. [2]

  6. Low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_polyethylene

    LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]

  7. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

    Polypropylene is commonly used in car bumpers, interior trims, and other components [19] where TiO₂ is added to improve the UV stability of the plastic, ensuring that parts do not degrade or lose color when exposed to sunlight over time. [20] Polyethylene films are widely used in agriculture for greenhouses, mulching, and silage wraps. [21]

  8. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping , fencing, deck railings , window frames , plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.

  9. Recycling - Wikipedia
