Plastic type 1, or PET (polyethylene terephthalate), is generally not used in water density applications due to its potential to leach harmful chemicals into water over time, especially when exposed to heat or prolonged contact. Additionally, PET may not provide the necessary durability or chemical resistance needed in certain water density applications. Its physical properties also make it less suitable for precise density measurements compared to other materials specifically designed for such purposes.

Is plastic heavier than aluminum?

Aluminum is heavier than plastic. Aluminum has a density of about 2.7 g/cm3, while plastic generally has a lower density depending on the type of plastic.


Does plastic or wood float better?

Plastic generally floats better than wood due to its lower density. Density is the mass of a material per unit volume, and since plastic is less dense than wood, it displaces more water and floats more easily. However, the specific type of plastic or wood can also impact their respective buoyancy properties.


What type of plastic is plastic bags?

Will plastic float in water?

Some plastics will float in water and others will sink. It depends on the type of plastic and in particular it depends on the density of the plastic material. This property is used as a method for separating the different plastics sent for recycling. Polyethylene and Polypropylene, for example, will float in water while PVC and ABS will sink.

What is the density of plastic in kgm3?

That depends on many things including but not limited to; 1. how thick the plastic is (if it's solid or just a shell around a hollow center) 2. the type of plastic, as different plastics have different densities. 3. if it is a hollow ball, the size of the ball will make a difference as the greater the volume of air compared to the volume of plastic will lower the density
