Advantages of plastic products

Plasticine Product Proof Dominant Below:

1. **Light weight**: The relative density of plastics is low, usually between 0.90 and 2.2, and the relative density of foamed plastics is even only 0.01. This characteristic makes the plastic article suitable for use in product designs that require weight reduction.
2. **Good chemical stability**: Most plastics have good corrosion resistance to acids, alkalis and other chemicals. For example, the chemical stability of polytetrafluoroethylene (F4) even exceeds that of gold.
3. **Excellent electrical insulation performance**: Plastic is a poor conductor of electricity, with high surface resistance and volume resistance, large breakdown voltage, small dielectric loss angle tangent, so it is widely used in the electronics industry and machinery industry, such as plastic insulated control cables.
4. **Poor conductor of heat, with noise reduction and shock absorption**: Plastic has low thermal conductivity, good heat insulation, sound insulation, and shock resistance. For example, the thermal conductivity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is only 1/357 of steel and 1/1250 of aluminum. In terms of heat insulation capacity, single glass plastic window is 40% higher than single glass aluminum window and double glass is 50% higher.
5. * * wide distribution of mechanical strength and high specific strength * *: plastic hardness, tensile strength, elongation and impact strength and other mechanical properties of a wide range of distribution, there is a greater choice of use. Due to the small specific gravity and high strength of the plastic, it has a high specific strength.

In short, plastic products have been widely used in modern society because of their light weight, durability, easy processing and low cost. However, plastics also have problems such as environmental pollution and difficult degradation, which need to be properly disposed of and recycled.
