The reason why plastic bags are popular and widely used

Plastic bags have many outstanding advantages, so they are widely applied in life. Here are some advantages of plastic bags.

Features of nylon bag:

  1. Thin, surface with moderate gloss and clarity
  2. High water resistance but poor breathability
  3. The hardness is better than other plastic bags
  4. Flexibility is average
  5. Low elongation
  6. Easy to create folds, wrinkles when folding bags, rubbing

First, we must know that the formula for density is:

  1. D = M/V
  2. D = Density; M = Mass; V = Mass

As the formula indicates, density is the total mass of the object divided by the total volume of the object, which means: 1 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 kilogram per cubic meter.

The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter (1 g/cm3), but actually, the exact density of water is not really 1 g/cm3, but a little (very, very little) less than 1. , so we can say that in general the weight and volume of water are the same.

What is the meaning of “Specific Gravity”?

Specific gravity means the specific value of an object at normal temperature and pressure.

The formula or specific gravity is:

  1. Specific gravity = Object / DH2O
  2. Dobject = Density of the object; DH2O = Density of water

Difference of Density & Specific Gravity

“Density” has its own unit of measure, 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/m3, conversely, density has no associated unit of measure; however, although they do not have the same meaning, they have the same value because the density of water is quite close to 1g/cm3.

That is, 1 cm3 of water weighs 1 g (as said the density of water is 1g/cm3) and 1 cm3 of aluminum weighs 2.7 g (density is 2.7 g/cm3) so the density of aluminum is 2.7 1 = 2.7 (same value as density)

Plastic material Density (g/cm3) / Specific gravity
LDPE 0.92 – 0.94
LLDPE 0.92 – 0.95
PP Copolymer 0.90 – 0.91
PET 1.30 – 1.40
PVC PLASTICIZED 1.30 – 1.70
EVA 0.92 – 0.94
HDPE 0.94 – 0.97
PA 0.9

Example of how to calculate the number of plastic bags/kg:

1.Example 1: PA/PE vacuum bags have the following dimensions: Width x Length x Thickness = 28cm x 40cm x 100mic

Weight of PA/PE bag= Width x Length x Thickness x specific gravity= ((28 x 40 x 0.0015)x0.9 + (28 x 40 x 0.0085) x 0.092) x 2= 22g => So 1kg has 1000/ 22= 45 bags, here PA=15mic; PE=100mic-15mic=85mic.

2.Example 2: PE bag has the following dimensions: Width x Length x Thickness = 28cm x 40cm x 50mic

Weight of PE bag=Width x Length x Thickness x specific gravity= (28 x 40 x 0.005)x0.92x 2= 10g => So 1kg PE bag has 1000/10= 100 bags.

Of course, there will be errors, because the width, length, thickness, and specific gravity themselves all have tolerances.
