1. Definitions Of Household Plastic

2. Common Types Of Household Plastic

2.1. Polyethylene Terephthalate ()

PET has long been one of the most popular plastics in our lives. In terms of structure, PET household plastic is created from the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It's a type of polyester widely used to make beverage bottles and food containers. Some outstanding properties of this type of household plastic include durability, good impact resistance, lightweight, and good moisture retention. In particular, PET is transparent so it is often chosen for food and drink-containing applications.

2.2. High-density polyethylene ()

When looking at some household items, it's easy to see a very common household plastic called HDPE. This is a line of household plastics created from the polymerization of ethylene known for its high strength-to-density ratio. This type of household plastic possesses many outstanding properties such as timeless durability, good impact resistance, and weather resistance from high to low temperatures. In particular, this is a line of household plastic that has extremely good chemical resistance, so it is very popular in the production of bottles containing cosmetics.

2.3. Polyvinyl chloride ()

2.4. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)

In contrast to HDPE, this is a type of household plastic formed through high-pressure polymerization of ethylene, creating a flexible and tough plastic. LDPE household plastic possesses its own quite special properties. They are highly flexible and can be easily shaped for a variety of products. They are moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant, and transparent.

2.5. Polypropylene ()

2.6. Polystyrene ()

The next type of household plastic is PS. This is a line of household plastics created by polymerizing styrene monomers. It is used to produce both solid and foam products. In terms of properties, PS household plastic is known for its hardness and heat-insulating properties. When solid, they are hard but quite brittle. In foam form, they demonstrate impressive thermal insulation properties. This material is very light and easy to shape and mix in a variety of colors.

3. Why Are Those Plastics Fitted To Use In Household?

High-density polyethylene (HDPE): They are well-suited for items such as baby bottles, detergent bottles, and plastic bags due to their strength, stiffness, and impact resistance.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE):
