5.18 describe some uses for polymers, including poly(ethene), poly(propene) and poly(chloroethene)

Polyethene is light and stretchy making it ideal for packaging such as plastic bags, water bottles/food containers and carpets.

Polypropene is a tough polymer but is quite flexible and heat resistant too, this makes it ideal for making things like crates

Polychloroethene is used to make clothes, drainpipes and insulating cables
