Materials: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Polystyrene Foam (PS)
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) – Is a very clean and strong plastic . It is used almost exclusively for plastic beverage bottles because it doesn’t impart a plastic taste to the product, plus the plastic is dense enough and strong enought o resist high pressure carbonation without it leaking thru plastic molecules. It is also easy to recycle and is made into carpet fiber (polyester) and clothes because of the high quality of the plastic
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) – has higher strength than regular plastic, so is good for milk jugs, garbage bags , Plastic chairs and plastic water pipes etc.
Polystyrene Foam (PS) – This is the common stryofoam everyone knows. Here a polystyrene plastic , which is cheap and fairly rigid, is treated with a blowing agent that forms air bubbles into the melted polystryrene. The air bubbles incorporated in the plastic make it ideal for lightweight shipping packaging and it is very moldable around specialty items.
It also is used heavily in the insulation business to make insulation panels and doors for superior insulation in homes and commercial businesses. It is waterproof and bugs don’t eat it and it doesn’t rot.
