Product Information

Making plastics is quite similar to someof the chemistry experiments you maydo in school – but it requires morecomplex chemical reactions and extrasafety measures. We also put on safetygoogles, and wear lab coats and glovesjust in case something goes wrong. Veterinary Oral Health Council. Protocols and Submissions. Available at: http://www.vohc.org/protocols_submissions.html [Accessed April 2022]. It might help to think of it like baking!When you make plastics you use differentingredients in different forms. Bymixing everything together in the rightcombination and heating to the righttemperature for the correct duration,you transform the ingredients into a newmaterial. But instead of eggs and flour weuse crude oil as our main ingredient. Andwe end up with plastic instead of cake! Depending on physical properties, plastics are divided into two types: Thermoplastic and thermosetting.

This measure is not expected to have any significant economic impacts. Impact on individuals, households and familiesRecycling of plastic is very important. If they are not recycled at the proper time, then they get mixed with other chemicals or materials and hence become more difficult to recycle and become a source of pollution. Today there are more than 50 kinds ofplastic and in the past 100 years its inventionhas changed the world as we know it. Plastics often contain additives making them stronger, more flexible, and durable. But many of these additives can extend the life of products if they become litter, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down. Medical bags and tubing are a common Polyvinyl Chloride product. 3) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC or Vinyl) Royal Veterinary College.

It can be a lot of fun, because you don’tjust work by yourself. At Covestro, there’sa great team of more than 16,000scientists and colleagues from aroundthe world. Every day, we have differentchallenges so it never gets boring.However, it’s understandable that many people make the assumption that it’s one material, all the same from top to bottom. In fact, there are hundreds of types of plastic (also called polymers), but only a handful that we interact with on a regular basis. Sometimes we don’t realise how much plastic we actuallyget through each week. A useful activity to try with yourfamily or school is to collect all the plastic your house or classdiscards in one week. Then at the end of the week lay it all outand count it! Take pictures too. Ask yourself these questions: Animalcare aims to give veterinary teams greater confidence in recommending home dental care with the launch of its new Plaqtiv+® range. Featuring patented Xpersiv™ technology, the Plaqtiv+® range captures minerals and inhibits biofilm maturation to reduce the formation of calculus – a key contributor to periodontal disease. Many chemists continued Leo’s work,and soon other types of plastics withdifferent properties were developed, such ascellophane in 1912 and nylon in 1935. It’s everywhere! The changes introduced by this measure will not impact the costs previously outlined. Other impacts

The Plaqtiv+® Water Additive has just received prestigious Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) approval. It is the first Water Additive in Europe to achieve this status, which confirms that it has delivered at least a 20% reduction in calculus in two studies¹. Other products in the range include a gum spray and a malt flavoured toothpaste. Each has been designed to support owner compliance through ease of use and through accompanying educational materials. Plastic is in so much stuffthat it’s almost impossibleto picture our liveswithout it! The chairs you sit on,the jumper you’re wearing, yoursmart phone, toys and pens areall made up of this material. Notto mention car parts, bike bits,bank notes, washing machinesand even windows. So wheredid the material come from? Sure! I work as a scientist for a companycalled Covestro. We make plasticsfor many different uses and industries.I research alternative materials toproduce plastics with, which will bebetter for the environment.

Ah yes, the infamous “other” option! This category is a catch-all for other types of plastic that don’t belong in any of the other six categories or are combinations of multiple types. We include it because you might occasionally come across the #7 recycling code, so it’s important to know what it means. The most important thing here is that these plastics aren’t typically recyclable. Plastic is an almost magic material whichmakes modern life possible – and better.For example, when used for houseinsulation, it keeps people´s homeswarm, while cutting the energy theyneed to heat it. Plastic is defined as a material that contains an essential ingredient an organic substance of large molecular weight. It is also defined as polymers of long carbon chains. Commenting on the launch of the Plaqtiv+® range, Animalcare Product Manager Eleanor Workman Wright said: “Despite research showing that at least 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are likely to develop periodontal disease by the age of three², dental care is still often neglected. While tooth-brushing is cited as the Gold Standard, it has to be used daily to achieve a significant degree of efficacy. This is often just not possible in the ‘real world’ and a more flexible approach can be helpful, with products such as water additives and gum sprays offering a practical, less time consuming solution in some circumstances. Plastic was discovered by famous German chemist Christian Schonbein in 1846. Plastics were actually discovered accidentally. Christian was experimenting in his kitchen and by accident, he spilt a mixture of nitric acid and sulphuric acid. To mop that solution (a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid) he took a cloth and after moping he kept it over the stove. After some time, the cloth disappeared and from their plastic got its name.
