Plastic is attracted to certain materials due to electrostatic forces. For example, plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene are attracted to materials with opposite charges, such as certain metals or other plastics with different charge distributions. This attraction is known as triboelectric charging, where materials gain or lose electrons through friction, leading to an electrostatic attraction between the materials.

How can an electromagnet attract plastic?

A pure hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon plastic contains no ferromagnetic material, so it will not be influenced by a magnet. If a plastic is loaded with ferromagnetic material (such as iron particles), then it will be influenced by an electromagnet. Ceramic materials loaded with ferromagentic materials, known as ferrites, are widely used in electrical and electronic equipment.
