Plastic has excellent performance, numerous varieties, and wide applications. It can replace the three traditional materials of metal, cellulose, and silicate, and serve as the strongest competitor to traditional materials. Universal plastics have been widely used in various sectors such as agriculture, light industry, textiles, electronic appliances, machinery, building materials, packaging, and transportation, profoundly affecting the development of industrial and agricultural production and scientific and technological progress. They play an extremely important role in social development, national economic construction, and the improvement of people's material and cultural living standards.
The uses of general plastics can involve the following aspects:
(1) Agriculture: various agricultural films, sheets, irrigation pipes, sprinkler pipes, fishing nets, breeding boxes, floating materials.
(2) Industry: Due to the electrical insulation properties of plastics, they have been widely used as insulation and packaging materials in the electrical industry; Components and casings in the electronics and instrumentation industry; Transmission gears, bearings, etc. in the mechanical industry; Various anti-corrosion containers, pipelines, tanks, tanks, etc. in the chemical industry.
(3) Construction industry: Using plastic instead of traditional materials such as wood and metal to produce plastic doors, windows, ceilings, floor coverings, plumbing pipes and fittings, gas pipes and fittings, and more.
(4) Packaging industry: various woven bags, packaging films, composite films, hollow containers, turnover boxes, corrugated boxes, packaging belts, foamed plastics, etc.
(5) Daily necessities: various plastic toys, toothbrushes, soap boxes, raincoats, tableware, utensils, slippers, etc.
(6) Medical and device industry: various artificial organs, medical infusion bags, disposable injection products, degradable medical materials.
(7) Electrical industry: insulation, thermal insulation, anti-corrosion, and moisture-proof shells for various office and household appliances, as well as Tang resistant and precision military components.
In addition to being widely used in the above-mentioned fields, some general plastics have expanded their application areas through modification and are widely used as structural materials in cutting-edge industries such as national defense, transportation, and aviation.
