PVC is a tough, hard, highly machinable plastic, but becomes much more brittle at low temperatures than PE or PP. PVC plastics can not only be welded, but also glued and painted. Plastic is chemically resistant, water-absorbent, a good insulator and has excellent fire resistance (self-extinguishing), which is why it is widely used as a structural element and in the manufacture of tanks, containers and various appliances.

Identification
Plastics can come in many different modifications and colours. Sinking into the water. Not lit, extinguished by removing the source of flame. The flame has a yellowish tinge, black smoke is emitted during combustion and soot is formed.

PROPERTIES AND USES

Density: ~ 1,15 g/cm3
Operating temperature: -40 ÷ +110 °C

Polyamides are common plastics with good mechanical properties: impact resistance, low coefficient of friction, abrasion resistance and UV protection. Polyamide is machined, resistant to petroleum products, and is often used in various industrial applications. It is used to make gears, wheels, sliding inserts, pulleys, rollers, screws, scrapers, rings and other technical parts.

Identification
Used natural polyamide has a yellowish tint (‘ivory colour’). When thrown into water, these plastics sink, catch fire badly and give off a pungent “sizzling hair” smell when burnt.

PROPERTIES AND USES

Density: 1,41 g/cm3
Operating temperature: -50 ÷ +115 °C
It is a hard and durable plastic with very good dimensional stability and impact resistance even at low temperatures. Polyacetal is highly machinable and can be used to manufacture a wide range of precision parts: calibration tools, dispensers, valves, castors, sliding inserts, holders, etc. Plastics are used in the food industry (they can come into contact with food and can be washed with alkalis), medicine and electronics. It does not absorb water, so it can be widely used in wet environments.

Identification
This plastic is usually lush white or black and sinks in water. Burns with a faint flame, giving off a very pungent, sour smell as the smoke dies down.

PROPERTIES AND USES

Density: 1,39 g/cm3
Operating temperature: -20 ÷ +115 °C

Plastic with good sliding properties, wear-resistant in contact with metals (especially polished, buffed, hardened, tempered steel). PET does not absorb moisture and has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, so the material remains very dimensionally stable. It is acid-resistant and has good dielectric properties. Because of its good mechanical properties and the possibility of contact with foodstuffs, this plastic is used for the manufacture of slide bearings, guides, stars, inserts, scrapers, where fine detailing of dimensional stability is required.
It is resistant to gamma rays and X-rays.

Identification
The plastic is usually white, black or light grey. It sinks in water, burns with a yellow flame, emits soot and, when the source of the flame is removed, slowly burns out, releasing a sweet aroma.

PROPERTIES AND USES

Density: 0,93 g/cm3
Operating temperature: -100 ÷ +80 °C

This plastic has high impact resistance, is light, flexible and not brittle even at very low temperatures, so it can be used to make protective boards, tapes (e.g. in hockey rinks). It is resistant to oil and various chemical products. The plastic can be thermoformed and welded (PE-300), so it is often used in the manufacture of containers, tanks and reservoirs. PE-500 is often used in the food industry for cutting boards, table tops. PE-1000 has excellent sliding properties and abrasion resistance, is suitable for abrasive environments and is therefore widely used not only in conveyors for transporting non-slip materials, but also in the manufacture of chain-type slideways, conveyor stars and various conveyor guides.

Identification
Plastics can come in different colours. Does not sink in water (less dense than water). It burns even when the source of the flame is removed, drips and the smoke emits a paraffin (melting wax) aroma.

PROPERTIES AND USES

Density: 0,92 g/cm3
Operating temperature: -20 ÷ +100 °C

PP plastic has better mechanical strength than PE, but is less resistant to low-temperature impacts. Polypropylene is a chemically resistant material, easy to weld, and is therefore very often used in water treatment plants, swimming pools, chemical tanks, oil tanks, electrolysis baths. PP is completely water-absorbent and can come into direct contact with foodstuffs, making it a suitable material for use in a wide range of food industries. This plastic can be thermoformed and is therefore used in orthopaedics, is lightweight and relatively inexpensive.

Identification
PP plastics do not sink in water (less dense than water). Continues to burn even when the source of the flame is removed, giving off a paraffin odour. PP plastic is harder to cut than PE.

PROPERTIES AND USES
