Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), used e.g. for transparent zipbags or covers for the 50-CD round boxes, melts at approximately 105 - 110 degrees Celsius. Can be used constantly at about 80 degrees, and withstands 95 degrees Celsius for a short time. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), used for supermarket plastic bags, motor oil and laundry detergent bottles, melts at a slightly higher temperature, 130-137 degrees Celsius. Can be used at about 110 degrees, and can be exposed for a short time at 120 degrees Celsius.

What material is used to make bags?
Plastic. Of course they're made out of plastic, The type of plastic is polyethylene. From the low melting point (195F) they are most likely made out of low density polyethylene.
What temperature do Ziploc bags melt?
Quote: For common commercial grades of medium- and high-density polyethylene (Ziploc) the melting point is typically in the range 120 to 130 °C (250 to 265 °F). The melting point for average, commercial, low-density polyethylene is typically 105 to 115 °C (220 to 240 °F).

Why nylon66 has higher melting point than polyethylene?
There is many intermolecular hydrogen bonds (-NH groups are polar) in nylon66, as in polyethylene (-CH groups are nonpolar) there are none, so only "V.d.Waals"-attraction

Is polyethylene a smart polymer?
YES! it is cheap, easily processed, chemically inert, flexible, low melting point, used in a variety of forms (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE).
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
Is plastic crystalline?
