Polypropylene has seen increased demand for a good portion of the 21st Century because companies know that its low density and its ability to withstand impact make it an invaluable in the production process. Also, the suitability that comes in relation to hot-fill packaging and its resistance to chemicals are something that can’t be overlooked.
Polyethylene
The fact that polyethylene is available in different densities is just one reason that this polymer is the most widely produced in that select category. It’s also resistant to both warping and shrinking, as well as corrosive material, and can also be used in products that come into contact with food.
Another option that offers some effective impact resistance, polyethylene is something that shows up in the bearings that are used for vital products like hip replacements and other medical-related products. Finally, children aren’t known for delicate handling of their toys, which makes usage in this department integral to continued sales.
Polystyrene

One of most common areas where this comes into extensive use is in the area of casual dining, such as dinnerware or plastic cups, with Styrofoam the most visible example of the latter.
This polymer in the thermoplastics segment of the market is one that can either be produced in transparent fashion or have colorants used to offer variants to potential customers.
