Low
Density Polyethylene (LDPE).
Used
predominately in film applications due to its toughness, flexibility
and relative transparency, making it popular for use in applications
where heat sealing is necessary. LDPE is also used to manufacture
some flexible lids and bottles and it is used in wire and cable
applications
Properties:
Ease of processing, strength, toughness, flexibility, ease of sealing,
barrier to moisture.
Recycled
products:
Shipping envelopes, garbage can liners, floor tile, furniture, film
and sheet, compost bins, paneling, trash cans, landscape timber,
lumber

HDPE
REGRIND |
High
Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
HDPE is used to make bottles for milk, juice, water and laundry
products. Unpigmented bottles are translucent, have good barrier
properties and stiffness, and are well suited to packaging products
with a short shelf life such as milk. Because HDPE has good chemical
resistance, it is used for packaging many household and industrial
chemicals such as detergents and bleach. Pigmented HDPE bottles
have better stress crack resistance than unpigmented HDPE bottles.
Properties:Stiffness,
strength, toughness, resistance to chemicals and moisture, permeability
to gas, ease of processing, and ease of forming.
Recycled
products:
Liquid laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner and motor oil bottles;
pipe, buckets, crates, flower pots, garden edging, film and sheet,
recycling bins, benches, dog houses, plastic lumber, floor tiles,
picnic tables, fencing.

Polypropylene
(PP).
Polypropylene
has good chemical resistance, is strong, and has a high melting
point making it good for hot-fill liquids. PP is found in flexible
and rigid packaging to fibers and large molded parts for automotive
and consumer products.
Properties:
Strength, toughness, resistance to heat, chemicals, grease and oil,
versatile, barrier to moisture
Recycled
products:
Automobile battery cases, signal lights, battery cables, brooms,
brushes, ice scrapers, oil funnels, bicycle racks, rakes, bins,
pallets, sheeting, trays.

Polystyrene
(PS).
Polystyrene
is a versatile plastic that can be rigid or foamed. General purpose
polystyrene is clear, hard and brittle. It has a relatively low
melting point. Typical applications include protective packaging,
containers, lids, cups, bottles and trays.
Properties:
Versatility, insulation, clarity, easily formed
Recycled
products:
Thermometers, light switch plates, thermal insulation, egg cartons,
vents, desk trays, rulers, license plate frames, foam packing, foam
plates, cups, utensils
Vinyl
(Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC)
In
addition to its stable physical properties, PVC has excellent chemical
resistance, good weatherability, flow characteristics and stable
electrical properties. The diverse slate of vinyl products can be
broadly divided into rigid and flexible materials. Bottles and packaging
sheet are major rigid markets, but it is also widely used in the
construction market for such applications as pipes and fittings,
siding, carpet backing and windows. Flexible vinyl is used in wire
and cable insulation, film and sheet, floor coverings synthetic
leather products, coatings, blood bags, medical tubing and many
other applications.
Properties:
Versatility, clarity, ease of blending, strength, toughness, resistance
to grease, oil and chemicals.
Recycled
products:
Packaging, loose-leaf binders, decking, paneling, gutters, mud flaps,
film and sheet, floor tiles and mats, resilient flooring, cassette
trays, electrical boxes, cables, traffic cones, garden hose, mobile
home skirting.
