More than 70 percent of the human body is water, so drinking more hot water is to supplement the water needed by the human body to better maintain the normal operation of the body. In daily life, many friends use plastic cups for convenience. , Durable plastic cups are the best choice, but can pc plastic cups be used to hold hot water? Next, let's follow the editor to learn about pc plastic cups, and by the way, let's learn about other materials of plastic.
What is a pc plastic cup?
I don't know if you have carefully observed the bottom of your plastic cup. It is not difficult to find that there is a triangular mark at the bottom of the general plastic cup, and then there will be a series of numbers in the center of the triangle, from 1 to 7. . The plastic material represented by each number is different, and the triangle symbol represents the meaning of recycling.
The so-called pc plastic cup is actually the plastic cup with the number 7 that we see at the bottom of the cup. It can't be heated in a microwave oven or an oven, because under high heat and high temperature, the pc material will undergo chemical reactions, producing toxic and harmful substances, and long-term accidental ingestion will cause great damage to the human body.
Can pc plastic cups hold hot water?
The editor will solemnly answer you here, no. No. pc7 can withstand the high temperatures of up to 80 degrees, which means that it cannot even contain boiling water of 100 degrees Celsius, because pc is easy to releases the toxic substance bisphenol A under high-temperature conditions, which is harmful to the human body. Do not heat when using, and do not expose yourself to direct sunlight. Under the condition of high heat and high temperature, the pc material will undergo a chemical reaction, producing toxic and harmful substances. Long-term ingestion will cause great damage to the human body. Therefore, when using pc material plastic cups, please avoid high temperature and high heat as much as possible. Fill a plastic cup made of PC with boiling water, and do not put it directly into the microwave or oven.
Here, the editor will briefly explain to you what the numbers 1 to 7 represent. No. 1 PET (polyethylene terephthalate), the container made of this material is a common plastic bottle for soda. It is heat resistant to 70 degrees and releases harmful and toxic substances at high temperatures. No. 2 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), containers for detergents, shampoos, shower gels, edible oils, pesticides, etc. are mostly made of HDPE and should not be reused. No. 3 PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is mostly used to make water pipes, raincoats, school bags, building materials, plastic films, plastic boxes, and other utensils. Heat resistant to 80 degrees, release harmful and toxic substances at high temperature.
No. 4 LDPE (low-density polyethylene), plastic bags that can be seen everywhere are mostly made of LDPE. Common plastic wrap is also LDPE, which is toxic at high temperatures. No. 5 PP (polypropylene) is mostly used to make buckets, trash cans, baskets, baskets, and food containers for microwave ovens, etc. Heated 167 degrees, the only material that can be put into a microwave oven. No. 6 PS (polystyrene), due to its low water absorption, is mostly used to manufacture building materials, toys, stationery, rollers, as well as cup boxes, or disposable tableware for beverages in fast food restaurants.
Therefore, pc plastic cups cannot be filled with very high-temperature hot water, nor can they be heated in a microwave oven.
