Q
how many plastic resins are there
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The number of different plastic resins in existence is extensive due to the vast range of applications and properties required from these materials. Broadly, plastics can be classified into two main categories: thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Within these categories, there are several families of resins, each with numerous variations and grades. Major families include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Moreover, each family encompasses a variety of types designed for specific uses. For instance, PE includes variations like HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and LDPE (low-density polyethylene). Advances in chemistry and increasing demands for specific material properties have led to the ongoing development of new resins. Counting all types and subtypes, there are easily over a hundred different plastic resins commonly used in various industries, from packaging and construction to healthcare and electronics, with ongoing research promising the creation of even more.
