Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer.
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.
Plastic wrap like saran wrap is made from polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) that has plasticizers like DEHA added to it. It is characterized by having a high tensile strength -6.9 to 82.8 megapascals (MPa); caused by the coiling of the polymers; which adds to the clinginess of the material. The plasticizers make the material stickier, so that it clings easier.It is Saran Wrap, otherwise known as cling film ! It is used to wrap up leftover food before putting it in the fridge !
- the polyethylene plastic bottle is unbreakable- the glass has a solubility (low and dependent on the type of glass) in acids
There are many type of plastic available for food boxes, below mentioned is the list of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) - GOOD to use High density polyethylene (HDPE) - GOOD to use Polyvinyl chloride (V or PVC) - BAD Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) - OK Polypropylene (PP) - OK Polystyrene (PS) - BAD Other (usually polycarbonate) - BAD For detailed help you can talk to TheCustomBoxes and find the detailed answer.
Plastic bottles are made from a variety of plastics. These include low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene.
The seven types of plastic are: Polyethylene terephthalate, High-density polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride, Low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, Polystyrene, and an unnamed category consisting of plastics that do not fit into the other categories. Polystyrene is often called Styrofoam.
1-PETE Polyethylene Terephthalate 2-HDPE High Density Polyethylene 3-V Vinyl/Polyvinyl Chloride 4-LDPE Low Density Polyethylene 5-PP Polypropylene 6-PS Polystyrene
Plastic resins are composed of hydrocarbons. Two common components are polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. These are produced during the "cracking" process.
There are a variety of types of plastic. Some of these include Polystyrene (PS), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
Plastic is a generic term. There are a variety of different forms of plastics.Some include:Polyester (PES)Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)Polyethylene (PE)High-density polyethylene (HDPE)Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC)Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)Polypropylene (PP)Polystyrene (PS)High impact polystyrene (HIPS)Polyamides (PA) (Nylons)Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)Polyethylene/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PE/ABS)Polycarbonate (PC)Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS)Polyurethanes (PU)Melamine formaldehyde (MF)Plastarch materialPhenolics (PF) or phenol formaldehydesPolyetheretherketone (PEEK)Polyetherimide (PEI)Polylactic acid (PLA)Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)Urea-formaldehyde (UF)You will need to be more specific, unless someone out there would like to research these twenty-five and all other forms of plastic and their market values.
Polyethylene is a plastic, not metal. In fact, polyethylene is the most common plastic now-a-days.
Examples: polyethylene terephtalate (PET), polyethylene, polypropylene.

Most of plastic bags are made of Polyethylene. It could be made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) or a combination of both in addition to Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).
No. Stomach acid is mostly H Cl (hydrogen chloride). Many plastic bags are made of polyethylene which is not attacked quickly by HCl.
