No but they can be used to make Plastics
What else can I help you with?
What is a familiar plastic and rubber material composed by hydrocarbons?
Polyethylene and polypropylene.
Is plastice made from sand?
No, plastic is not made directly from sand. Plastic is typically made from petroleum, a fossil fuel, through a process that involves extracting hydrocarbons from crude oil and refining them into the polymers used to make plastic products. Sand is used in the production of glass, not plastic.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
What are the double and triple bonded hydrocarbons called?
double bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkenes" and triple bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkynes"
What is the sharing of electrons in hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons have covalent bonds.
What two hydrocarbons are used to make plastics?
What two hydrocarbons are used to make plastic
What familiar plastic and rubber materials composed of hydrocarbons'?
Familiar plastic materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC are composed of hydrocarbons. Rubber materials like neoprene and polyisoprene are also composed of hydrocarbons.
What is a plastic and rubber material made by hydrocarbons?
Polyethylene and polypropylene.
What is a familiar plastic and rubber material composed by hydrocarbons?
Polyethylene and polypropylene.
What are plastic resins composed of?
Plastic resins are composed of hydrocarbons. Two common components are polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. These are produced during the "cracking" process.
What element is in plastic?
Plastics are almost always made of long-chain hydrocarbons - consequently you will find hydrogen and carbon in plastics
How many trees are used every year to make plastic water bottles?
None, because plastics are made from hydrocarbons, which are obtained from the refinement of crude oil. Plastic is not made from trees.
Is plastice made from sand?
No, plastic is not made directly from sand. Plastic is typically made from petroleum, a fossil fuel, through a process that involves extracting hydrocarbons from crude oil and refining them into the polymers used to make plastic products. Sand is used in the production of glass, not plastic.
Why do most plastics remain in landfills for a long time?
because the plastic synthetic polymers are based on hydrocarbons, the polymers do not decompose easly.
Is glass a form of plastic?
Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) material composed mostly of silicon dioxide. Plastic is a broad term for thousands of different polymers, which are manmade hydrocarbons. Some are crystalline, and some are not.
Are epoxies classed as hydrocarbons?
They are not hydrocarbons.
What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
