Properties of Plastics

Plastics have a wide range of useful properties and are therefore used in a variety of industries. Some of the common properties of plastics include:

Thermal and electrical insulation: Plastics have good thermal and electrical insulation properties. For example, people usually use plastics to make pot handles, which is precisely because plastics can isolate heat. In addition, plastics can effectively isolate electrical currents and prevent leakage, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical equipment and wiring systems.

Low cost: Plastics are generally cheaper than other materials such as metals. Due to their affordability, plastics have been widely used worldwide.

Lightweight and durable: Plastics are lightweight materials and are inherently very durable. These properties make them popular for transportation and packaging applications.

Non-reactive: Unlike metals, plastics do not react. Not only do they not react with water or oxygen, but they also do not react with many chemicals. This property allows plastics to be used to store different types of chemicals.

Molded into different shapes: Plastics have a high degree of versatility in shape, size and form. They can be molded, extruded or shaped into various shapes to achieve complex design and customization.

Applications of Plastics

Plastics have a variety of applications in everyday life. The main applications are described below.

Packaging

Plastics are commonly used as food packaging to extend the shelf life and maintain the freshness of food. In addition, they are used as packaging for personal care products, household goods and other consumer products.

Automotive

Plastics are used in the production of various interior components, such as dashboards, door panels and seats and exterior parts like bumpers, body panels, and grilles.

Electronics and Electrical

Plastics offer electrical insulation, impact resistance and design flexibility for the production of casings and enclosures for electronic equipment. In addition, they also have certain flexibility and can be used as insulation materials for wires and cables.

Construction

Plastics, particularly polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, are widely used in plumbing systems because of their corrosion resistance, durability and ease of installation. In addition, plastics are used in the production of windows and doors for their low maintenance and durability.
