Plasticware is commonly used in laboratories for a variety of reasons, including its cost-effectiveness, lightweight nature, and flexibility:

Here are some common types of plastic used in laboratories:

Polypropylene (PP)
A translucent, rigid polymer that can withstand temperatures between -20°C and +135°C. PP is used to make beakers, bottles, jugs, and cylinders. 

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
An opaque, rigid polymer with a working temperature range of -200°C to +260°C. PTFE is resistant to almost all chemicals. 

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
A flexible plastic that can be used to make wash bottles, dispensing bottles, tube caps, and lab trays. 

Polystyrene
A strong, stiff, and transparent material that can be used to make test tubes, centrifuge tubes, tube racks, serological pipettes, Petri dishes, and pipettes.
 
Plasticware can be cleaned with warm water, a suitable detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
