  2. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    6-mil (0.15 mm) polyethylene plastic sheet as vapour barrier between insulation and gypsum board Glass wool pipe insulation covering a steel pipe as it penetrates a mock-up concrete slab whose opening will be firestopped.

  3. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

    A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

  4. 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 ...

  5. High-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene

    HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. [4] The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m 3. [5] Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE. [6]

  6. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

    Polyethylene is a flexible plastic foamed insulation that is widely used to prevent freezing of domestic water supply pipes and to reduce heat loss from domestic heating pipes. The fire performance of Polyethylene is typically 25/50 E84 compliant up to 1" thickness.

  7. Linear low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Linear_low-density_polyethylene

    LLDPE has penetrated almost all traditional markets for polyethylene; it is used for plastic bags and sheets (where it allows using lower thickness than comparable LDPE), plastic wrap, stretch wrap, pouches, toys, covers, lids, pipes, buckets and containers, covering of cables, geomembranes, [2] and mainly flexible tubing. It is also common to ...

  8. 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.

  9. Plastic film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_film

    Film strip (photographic film) 6 mil polyethylene plastic sheet as vapor barrier in construction Confectionery packaging made of PLA-blend bio-flex bioplastic Shrink-wrapped OH-58 Kiowa helicopters to be shipped. Plastic film is a thin continuous polymeric material. Thicker plastic material is often called a "sheet".
