Common Uses in Industry
Each plastic type serves specific industrial needs. Let’s break them down: Plastic Raw Materials
- Construction:
PVC is ideal for pipes, windows, and cable coating.
Polycarbonate works well in transparent panels and roofing. - Packaging:
PET bottles dominate the beverage sector.
PE and PP make up most bags, wraps, and containers. - Automotive:
ABS, Nylon, and PC appear in dashboards, gear housings, and trim parts. - Textiles:
Polyester and Nylon are widely used in fabrics, ropes, and outdoor wear. - Electronics:
PS and ABS are perfect for casings, keyboards, and connectors. - Medical & Lab:
PET, PS, and PA are used in sterile containers, instruments, and labware.
