Sandwich bags

Most brands of sandwich bags are made of polyethylene terephthalate, and most brands of food wrap are made of polyvinylidene chloride. Look carefully at tbe chemical composition of these polymers, shown in Table 12.5. Which contains larger atoms Which might be involved in stronger dipole-induced dipole interactions with water Need help with these questions Refer back to Sections 6.7 and 7.1. 

The lunch bag incendiary is similar in size and effect to the pocket incendiary used by the Office of Strategic Services OSS) in World War H It consists of a sandwich-sized slab of soap napalm and an ignition packet scaled in a zip-lock sandwich bag. It fits in a pocket, purse, or pack and is easy to handle. 

To prepare, clean and dry a square, half-gallon milk carton. Pour in 4 cups of fuel and 2 tablespoons of denatured alcohol. Mix well. Add 2 1/2 cups of soap powder or 3 1/2 cups of soap flakes. Stir until it begins to thicken, approximately 15 minutes. Seal the carton with tape and let it sit for 2 days. The mixture will thicken into a firm buttery paste. Chill for an hour in the refrigerator, remove, and carefully peel off the milk carton. Cut the resulting block into 1-inch slabs and place them in individual sandwich bags. Double wrap to help contain the fumes. 

Founded in 1997, Sunway has developed into one of the main PE bag suppliers in mainland China. They manufacture food, freezer and sandwich bags, swing bin/pedal bin liners, checkout bags and refuse sacks. The company is exporting over 95 % of sales to Western Europe, the USA, Australia and Japan. Sunway has annual sales of over 12 million, employs over 300 staff and has annual production capacity approaching 20,000 tonnes. 

Polyethylene is a synthetic plastic first produced in the 1930s, and initially used as insulating material for radar during World War II. It is now a plastic used in milk containers, sandwich bags, and plastic wrapping. Over 100 billion pounds of polyethylene are manufactured each year. 

For example, joining ethylene monomers together forms the polymer polyethylene, a plastic used in milk containers and sandwich bags.

To demonstrate this effect, put on your safety glasses then take a plastic sandwich bag and put in about two teaspoons (10 milliliters) of the sour salt (citric acid) suggested for purchase in the Shopping List and Solutions. Then put one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water into the bag and seal it up. The bag will feel cold to the touch as the sour salt dissolves. The effect is most pronounced at the beginning of the dissolution. To give... 

The polymer produced in highest volume is polyethylene. Invented by the British, who call it polythene, and put into production in 1939, it could for a long time only be produced by the oxygen-catalyzed polymerization of ethylene at pressures near 40,000 Ib/in.. Such pressures are expensive and dangerous to maintain on an industrial scale. The polyethylene produced has a low density and is used primarily to make film for bags of all types— from sandwich bags to trash can liners. The opaque appearance of polyethylene is due to crystallites, regions of order in the polymer that resemble... 

Think how different your life would be without plastic sandwich bags, plastic foam cups, nylon and polyester fabrics, vinyl siding on buildings, foam cushions, and a variety of other synthetic materials. Synthetic materials do not exist in nature they are produced by the chemical industry. 

The best squirter for the three irritants above is a water pistol. Most water pistols leak badly so they must be transported barrel up so the goody won t ooze out around the trigger. It will leak when you use it so it is best to put it in a plastic sandwich bag with the opening held around the barrel with a rubberband. If the pistol has a trigger guard it should be cut off and then it can be used just as easily in a plastic bag as otherwise.

The use of virgin polyethylene as an additive to asphalt concrete is not new however, two new processes also use recycled plastic as an asphalt cement additive [ 146,147]. These latter two processes both use recycled low-density polyethylene resin, which is generally obtained from plastic trash and sandwich bags. The recycled plastic is made into pellets and added to asphalt cement at a rate of 4-7% by weight of binder [146-148]. 

I he chemical composition of a I polymer has a significant effect X on its macroscopic properties. To see this for yourself, place a drop of water on a new plastic sandwich bag, and then tilt the bag vertically so that the drop races off. Observe the behavior of the water carefully. Now race a drop of water off afreshly pulled strip of plastic food wrap. How does the behavior of the drop on the wrap compare with the behavior of the drop on the sandwich bag ... 

Polyethylene (Section 14.4) is the most widely used polymer. Examples of plastics made from polyethylene include milk bottles, sandwich bags, garbage bags, toys, and molded objects.

Polyethylene made in this way is transparent and used in packaging and film (for example, for grocery bags as well as for freezer and sandwich bags).
