Types Of Plastics Used in Construction

• 1. POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC (PE)
• The polymerized vinyl monomers are used to make
  the polyethylene plastic. The monomer is regarded
  as a simple compound which can be polymerized to
  become a macromolecular compound. The
  macromolecular compound can be polymerized by a
  simple compound called Monomer. The monomer can
  be polymerized using three ways and they are
  middle-pressure, high-pressure process, and
  low-pressure process. Various degrees of Density
  and crystallinity are made in various ways. Low
  crystallinity has high-pressure polyethylene
  while low-pressure polyethylene makes higher
  density and crystallinity. On the contrary, there
  is a decrease in the toughness and elongation.
  There are a better chemical stability and water
  resistance in polyethylene plastic. Although its
  strength is not high it is very flexible with
  less temperature.
• 2. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PLASTIC (PVC)
• This is a frequently used building plastic made
  from the polymerized vinyl chloride monomer and
  it has a better chemical stability and aging
  resistance but reduced heat resistance. If the
  temperature is more than 100 degrees C it may
  decompose and metamorphose. The ideal temperature
  of about 60 to 80 degree Celsius where this
  compound should be used. By including various
  amounts of plasticizer, hard and soft polyvinyl
  chloride plastic can be developed.
• 3. POLYSTYRENE PLASTIC (PS)
• Polymerized styrene monomer is used to make
  polystyrene plastic. It can transmit light
  excellently, very good pigmentation, chemically
  stable, light resistance, water resistance, low
  price, and easy processing. There are few
  disadvantages like poor impact toughness, weak
  stiffness, weak heat resistance, and easy
  flammability.

• 4. POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC (PP)
• Polymerized acrylic monomer makes the
  polypropylene plastic. It contains lightweight
  density 0.90g/cm sq, strong heat resistance
  (100-120 degree C) with continuous ductility and
  water resistance. It is not that rigid in low
  temperature and poor air resistance. This is used
  for indoor works. Currently, there is a heavy
  demand for this compound.
• 5. POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (PMMA)
• Organic glass also termed as thermoplastic resin
  can be made from the polymerized polymethyl
  methacrylate. It has the benefit of very good
  strength, the light transmittance at reduced
  temperature, better heat resistance, better aging
  resistance, and easy processes.
• 6. POLYESTER RESIN (PR)
• Polybasic alcohol or diatomic are condensed to
  make polyester resin. There is a good bonding
  capacity, better colorability, elasticity, heat
  resistance, flexibility, heat resistance, and
  water resistance.

• 7. PHENOLIC RESIN (PF)
• The influence of alkaline catalyst or acid
  catalyst is used for the phenolic resin to make
  polymerizing phenol and aldehyde. It has very
  good light resistance, better cohesion strength,
  water resistance, and electrical insulation. It
  has poor stiffness.
• 8. ORGANIC SILICON RESIN (SI)
• Hydrolysing one or more organic silicon monomer
  helps in making Organic Silicon resin. It has the
  properties of cold resistance, heat resistance,
  corrosion resistance, water resistance. It is
  poor in cohesive force, mechanical force etc.
• The above types of plastics used in construction
  of roads, so make use of them effectively.
