The classification of plasticsTwo simple tests for classification:The first test --- heating a sample of the plastics in boiling water or in the oil.The second test --- heating a sample of the plastics strongly.Two simple tests for classificationTest 1Test 2The wall socket chars and cracks when heated stronglyPlastics can be classified into two main types according to their thermal behaviorThermoplastics ( 热塑性塑料 )Examples: polythene (PE) 聚乙烯 polypropene (PP) 聚丙烯 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 聚氯乙烯 polystyrene (PS) 聚苯乙烯 perspex 有机玻璃 nylon 尼龙 Thermosetting plastics （热固性塑料） Examples: urea-methanal 脲甲醛 melamine 三聚氰酰胺--- They are flexible. They soften and melt on heating and re-harden on cooling.--- They are hard and rigid. They do not soften or melt but decompose on strong heating.bakelite 电木2.
