How Plastic Bags Are Manufactured

Plastic Bag Making Machine Carbon has the incredible ability of forming long chains with different elements and it’s this ability which is responsible for the creation of plastic. The hydrocarbon, ethylene (C2H4), is a by-product of processing coal, oil and gas, and consists of four hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon-carbon double bond. This simple molecule, or monomer, can join with many other hydrocarbon monomers to create a polymer. By varying the amount of ethylene monomers, different types of plastic can be created to produce a variety of products, three types of which are used for… Read more
