Advantages and disadvantages of plastic pots and types of raw materials

The raw material of ordinary plastic pots in the market is general plastic, which generally refers to plastics with large output, wide use, good formability and low price. There are five kinds of general plastics, namely polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), all of which are thermoplastics.

superiority

Most plastic pots have strong corrosion resistance, do not react with acid and alkali, are low in manufacturing cost, durable, waterproof and light, and are good insulators, beautiful and convenient.

disadvantaged

Burning plastics will produce toxic gases, such as toluene when polystyrene is burned. Inhalation of a small amount of this substance will lead to blindness, vomiting and other symptoms, and PVC combustion will also produce toxic gas of hydrogen chloride. High temperature environment will lead to the decomposition of toxic components, such as benzene ring. Plastic products such as plastic pots are products refined from petroleum, and the petroleum resources are limited. Plastics cannot decompose naturally, resulting in "white pollution".
