Best Answer

If by "specific weight" you mean density, the density of melted plastic is pretty much the same as the cooled and solidified plastic. There are a number of different plastics out there, and their densities vary. They might range from a bit under a gram per cubic centimeter to a bit over 1 and 1/4 grams per cubic centimeter for "typical" plastics (and with no air injected into them).

How is plastic melted?

Plastic is melted by applying thermal energy -- heat. Plastic "bits" are dumped into a hopper, and a screw type feed mechanism forces them through a heated section of the screw housing. Resistance heating elements are used, and they convert electricity to heat energy to melt the plastic. The temperature is controlled by electronics, and run appropriately for the type of plastic being melted. This melted plastic is then forced out the end into molds in a process called injection molding.
