Plastic

Plastic is a popular material in today's life. To classify this material, we can rely on the following factors. According to SPI code (PETE, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS, Other) According to the effect on temperature (thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, elastic plastic) According to See more...

PE (Polyethylene or Polythene, Polyethylene) is a thermoplastic that is water-resistant, mold-resistant and electrically insulating. When solidified, the product is durable and non-toxic. Let's learn more about PE plastic beads with Kosmos below. What is PE plastic? PE plastic is plastic See more...

Polyurethane (PU) plastic, also known as plastic rubber, is a polymer material made up of organic units linked through Carbamate. This type of plastic stands out with 4 main properties: abrasion resistance is 3-5 times superior to rubber and See more...

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a thermoplastic resin formed by the polymerization of Vinyl Chloride monomer, with a stable branched or straight chain structure. Invented in 1872 and developed strongly since the 1930s, PVC exists in two main forms: suspension See more...

PS plastic (Polystyrene plastic, plastic number 6) is a thermoplastic polymer with the chemical formula (C8H8)n, formed from Styrene through polymerization. Eduard Simon, a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Berlin, discovered PS plastic in 1839 and the IG Farben group in Germany See more...

Composite plastic (FRP - Fiber Reinforced Plastic) is a synthetic material made up of two main components: a continuous phase (matrix) consisting of Polymers such as thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics and a discontinuous phase (reinforcement) consisting of reinforcing materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc. Composite plastic has 4 See more...

To understand the difference between PVC and PS plastic, we must know their physical properties. Kosmos will analyze these two thermoplastic polymers below! [toc] A few words about PVC plastic PVC plastic is the most commonly used thermoplastic polymer in the world. See more...
