PE gloves and PVC gloves, are you still confused? PE and PVC are very similar in performance, and it is difficult to distinguish from the surface. Here are some tips to distinguish.

How to distinguish pvc and pe

1. Touch method. It feels lubricious to  touch, and the surface looks like coated with a layer of wax. Which is a non-toxic polyethylene (PE) film bag, while the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film feels a little sticky.

2. Dithering method. When shaking with your hands, the sound is brittle, and the material that floats easily is a polyethylene (PE) film bag.  The low-sounding hand shake is the PVC film bag.

3. Combustion method. It is flammable in fire, the flame is yellow,burning with paraffin oil dripping and candle burning gas is non-toxic polyethylene (PE) film bag. If it is not easy to burn, it will be extinguished immediately after leaving the fire, and the flame will be green and it is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film bag.

Soaking method. The plastic bag is immersed in water and pressed into the water by hand. Polyethylene (PE) that can rise to the surface, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that sinks into the water.
