Simple identification method for plastic varieties

The identification of plastics can be done by scientific methods such as infrared spectrometers, paramagnetic resonance instruments, and X-rays, but it can also be identified by a relatively simple method. The following briefly describes the simple authentication method:

Sensory identification

Sensory identification (organizing students to participate in the identification of plastics)

(one look

First look at the color and transparency of the product.

Transparent products are: polystyrene and plexiglass.

Translucent products are: low density polyethylene, cellulose plastic, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, epoxy resin, unsaturated resin.

Opaque products are: high density polyethylene, polyurethane and various colored plastics.

(2) Listening

When hit with a hard object, the sound is different, the polystyrene is like a metal sound, and the plexiglass is thicker and boring.

(three) touch

Touching the product by hand feels like waxy, it must be a polyolefin material. Secondly, the degree of softness and hardness can be simply expressed as follows:

Hard→soft

Polystyrene→polypropylene→polyamide→organic glass→high density polyethylene→hard polyvinyl chloride→low density polyethylene→soft polyvinyl chloride

Then test the surface hardness and draw the surface with different hardness pencils to make a difference:

Polyethylene plastic with HB pencil can draw line marks;

Polypropylene plastic with ZH pencil can draw line marks.

Because of the difference in people's physiological conditions, the sensory identification does not feel the same, so this method is for reference only.
