1 kg plastic bags, about how many bags?
Plastic bags, plastic bag are one of the familiar items at fashion stores, supermarkets, grocery stores, markets…. And they come in many different sizes, colors, designs, and models. Many customers wonder, 1kg includes how many plastic bags or foam bags, are the bags of the same quantity or not?
Other uses for plastic bags
Don’t use plastic bags as garbage bags anymore, there are at least 30 uses you haven’t tried! Like me, many people will buy another plastic bag.
But when I buy it, I often use it as a garbage bag. However, I heard there are 30 unknown uses of garbage bags, do you want to try it together?
- White vest is difficult to wash: In the summer, a long-wearing white vest will not be clean. You can wash your white vest first with clean water, then gently rub it with soap or detergent. After washing, apply soap or washing powder and then gently rub, do not rub anymore, put in a plastic bag tied to the mouth, dry in the sun for 1 hour. Then take it out and scrub it so it’s as white as ever.
- Helps clothes not to wrinkle: When folding clothes, you should fold the plastic bag inside the clothes, keep the clothes separately from the plastic bag. This way, when some are pressed, the plastic cushions some of the pressure, and at the same time can slow down the friction between the materials, so it’s generally not prone to wrinkling.
- Helps leather shoes resist mildew: First wipe the leather shoes with a damp cloth, dry, apply shoe polish, wait for a while, use a shoe polish brush to polish, put in a sealed plastic bag, exhaust all the air in the bag, tie the bag tightly with a string. rope. Storing leather shoes in this way can help prevent leather shoes from cracking, deforming, moldy and damaged.
- Prevent windows from freezing flowers: Residents who use the stove for heating in winter often have frost on the window glass in the house due to the morning steam, after the ice melts, the water will not stop flowing on the windowsill. If there is a screen window outside the window, white plastic film can be nailed to the wooden frame of the screen window so that the window glass does not freeze and resists cold.
- Prevention and treatment of cracked heels: Wash the foot with warm water, wrap a clean, transparent, soft and thin plastic bag on the heel, then put on socks, so that the cracked part is always warm and wet, the injured part will heal quickly. . within 3 to 4 days.

- Helps persimmons get rid of the acrid taste: Find a clean, intact plastic bag and arrange the persimmons next to each other, depending on the number of persimmons, choose 1 to 2 pears arranged around the persimmon, then tie the plastic bag tightly and put it in place. Cool for about a week before eating.
- Preserving dried chili: Skewer the peppers and dry completely. Take a suitable sized plastic bag, thread the chili wire through the bottom of the plastic bag and hang it under the eaves. Every 1 to 2 months, remove the plastic bag to dry the peppers. In this way, chili will not be damaged by insects but also clean and hygienic.

- Leaky Water Pipe Protection: Washing machine drain pipes often leak due to bending and aging. You can use a 10cm wide plastic bag to wrap several layers at the crack of the drain pipe and then use a longer nylon cord to wrap it from one end to the other end of the plastic bag in a spiral groove. to prevent clogging. Seal cracks in water pipes to prevent water pipes from leaking.
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:
- Thin, surface with moderate gloss and clarity
- High water resistance but poor breathability
- The hardness is better than other plastic bags
- Flexibility is average
- Low elongation
- Easy to create folds, wrinkles when folding bags, rubbing
First, we must know that the formula for density is:
- D = M/V
- 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:
- Specific gravity = Object / DH2O
- 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.
