  2. Polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene

    The melting point for average commercial low-density polyethylene is typically 105 to 115 °C (221 to 239 °F). These temperatures vary strongly with the type of polyethylene, but the theoretical upper limit of melting of polyethylene is reported to be 144 to 146 °C (291 to 295 °F). Combustion typically occurs above 349 °C (660 °F).

  5. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    The melting point of polypropylene occurs in a range, so the melting point is determined by finding the highest temperature of a differential scanning calorimetry chart. Perfectly isotactic PP has a melting point of 171 °C (340 °F).

  6. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

    However, some plastics are partially amorphous and partially crystalline in molecular structure, giving them both a melting point and one or more glass transitions (the temperature above which the extent of localized molecular flexibility is substantially increased).

  8. 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]

  9. Polystyrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene

    General-purpose polystyrene is clear, hard, and brittle. It is an inexpensive resin per unit weight. It is a poor barrier to air and water vapor and has a relatively low melting point. [6] Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics, with the scale of its production being several million tonnes per year. [7]
