Re: Use the Sherman anti-trust act

Pointer 94, nice read but what you said actually supports my remark and if you had read farther you would fine that Plastic was a trade name belonging to DuPont. PVC was not an original DuPont product. So don't be a wiseazz.

Thats your response????? I'm still laughing at you. Just harder now than before.<br /><br />Raise your hand if you have ever seen the word "plastic" with the TM (trade mark) ensignia behind it. <br /><br />I wonder if the Plastics Marketing Board is paying royalties to Dupont?<br /><br />Your just killin me!!! ROFL

Sorry, tx, you lost this one.<br /><br />Cut and paste from plastics.org <br /><br />Six resins account for nearly all of the plastics used in packaging: <br /><br /><br />Vinyl (polyvinyl chloride, or PVC) provides excellent clarity, puncture resistance and cling. As a film, vinyl can breathe just the right amount, making it ideal for packaging fresh meats that require oxygen to ensure a bright red surface while maintaining an acceptable shelf life. <br /><br />PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a clear, tough polymer with exceptional gas and moisture barrier properties. PET's ability to contain carbon dioxide (carbonation) makes it ideal for use in soft drink bottles. <br /><br />HDPE (high density polyethylene) is used in milk, juice and water containers in order to take advantage of its excellent protective barrier properties. Its chemical resistance properties also make it well suited for items such as containers for household chemicals and detergents. <br /><br />LDPE (low density polyethylene) offers clarity and flexibility. It is used to make bottles that require flexibility. To take advantage of its strength and toughness in film form, it is used to produce grocery bags and garbage bags, shrink and stretch film, and coating for milk cartons. <br /><br />PP (polypropylene) has high tensile strength, making it ideal for use in caps and lids that have to hold tightly on to threaded openings. Because of its high melting point, polypropylene can be hot-filled with products designed to cool in bottles, including ketchup and syrup. It is also used for products that need to be incubated, such as yogurt. <br /><br />PS (polystyrene) is a colorless plastic that can be clear and hard. It can also be foamed to provide exceptional insulation properties. Foamed or expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used for products such as meat trays, egg cartons and coffee cups. It is also used for packaging and protecting appliances, electronics and other sensitive products.5 <br /> <br />If they consider pvc a plastic.... then it is.
