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.

Anhydride with ethylene glycol versus phthalic anhydride with glycerol?
You get a polymer! When you have ethylene glycol react with phtalic anhydride in a basic sollution such as NaOH(aq) you'll get a linear polymer. When you have glycerol react with phtalic anhydride in the same way you'll get a crosslinked polymer. The important difference between glycerol and ethylene glycol is the amount of OH groups, and as we all know, the OH groups usually the group that reacts - particularly in the creation of polymers. So in this case your crosslinked polymer will be the glycerol as it has 3 OH groups. One in each end, allowing the molycule to connect with other molecules and create polymers, and one in the middle (connected to the 2nd Carbon Atom) allowing it to react with other polymers. I hope that sort of answers your question
How does UV resistant of Styrene acrylic polymer compare to others as SBR polymer or Polyvinyl Acetate polymer?
There compare the same There compare the same
What is difference Between polyethylene and polythene?
Thr answer is They dont Have the Same sPelling
Is clay and polymer clay the same?
Hope this helped! No....Polymer Clay and Reg. Clay are not the same. For One Polymer Clay can be 'cured' in your home oven where other clay need either air to dry them or a High Fire Kilm.
What is the difference between polythene and polyethylene?
they are the same but just with different ways of saying it.

Is PE the same as polyester?
No, PE is an abbreviation for polyethylene. The abbreviation for polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) is PET.

What are the most unusual chemical reactions in the world?
This question really doesn't have an answer. Unusual how? One that tends to surprise people is the polymerization of propylene. If you do a free radical polymerization of ethylene, you get polyethylene. If you do a free radical polymerization of styrene, you get polystyrene. But if you try the same thing on propylene, you don't get polypropylene, you get polyethylene. (Despite not being what you might expect at first glance, it's not a mistake or an accident; it does make perfect sense if you think about it carefully.)
Is a polymer paint the same as gouache?
No.
Is a polymer the same thing as a carbohydrate?
no

Is PVC and polyethylene the same thing?
They are similar but different. PVC is stronger & more rigid than polyethlene and is used for wastelines & polyethylene is used for water lines.

Is pva glue the same as polyethylene glue?
No, there are big differences in the chemical composition.
What is the difference between polythene and polyethylene?
they are the same but just with different ways of saying it.
