Commodity Polymers

Commodity Polymers

Commodity plastics or commodity polymers are plastics produced in high volumes for applications where exceptional material properties are not needed (such as packaging, food containers, and household products). In contrast to engineering plastics, commodity plastics tend to be inexpensive to produce and exhibit relatively weak mechanical properties. Some examples of commodityplastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, EVA and  polyvinyl chloride Globally, the most widely used thermoplastic includes both Polypropylene and Polyethylene.
