Is polymer grade ethylene same as the polyethylene?
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
What is ep polymer?
Ethylene Propylene
Is teflon plastic?
Yes it is a thermoplastic polymer PTFE - poly tetra fluoro ethylene.
What is the difference between solid polymer and liquid polymer?
One is solid, one is liquid.A polymer is just a large molecule (macromolecule) made up of a chain of repeating structural units (monomers), and a liquid one would just be a liquid polymer. Any major differences would depend entirely on the specific polymer.
Is polystyrene or polyethylene stronger?
No, both are different. Polystyrene is a polymer of styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) whereas polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene (CH2=CH2).
What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.

Which one is not a polymer of ethylene?
decene
What is ep polymer?
Ethylene Propylene
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
What are the ingredients used in PVC pipe manufacturing?
Carbon, hydrogen, chlorine. If it's flexible, there's probably some oxygen in there as well. Rigid PVC is poly(vinyl chloride), where vinyl chloride is ethene with one of the hydrogens replaced by a chlorine atom. Flexible PVC ... sometimes called simply "vinyl" ... has additives like octyl phthalate (which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) that keep the polymer swollen and flexible.
What is PVC plastics?
Polyvinyl chloride, (IUPAC(chloroethanediyl)) commonly abbreviated PVC, is a thermoplastic polymer. It is a vinyl polymer consisting of vinyl groups (ethenyls) that are bound to chlorine.
What are polyethylene molecules made of?
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What are polyethene molecules made of?
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What is the science behind polyethylene bonding?
Polyethylene (C20H40) has single bonds from twenty carbon atoms to forty hydrogen atoms. It is a polymer chain of ten linked ethylene (C2H4) monomers, which have two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms. In an ethylene monomer, the two carbons are double bonded to themselves, while the hydrogens are single bonded to the carbons. When the ethylene monomers link to form Polyethylene, however, the bonds turn into all single bonds.

What is made from polythyrene?
i think epoxy surfboards are. nevermind, that's polystyrene...
