Kunezinhlobonhlobo eziningi ze-rubber flip-flops ezenziwa zitholakale emakethe. Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi akuwona wonke ama-flip-flop enziwe ngerabha yemvelo. Amaslipper amaningi adayiswa emakethe enziwe nge-PE. Ngakho-ke, masiqonde PE.
Iyini i-PE? – PE isho i-Polyethylene noma i-Polythene. Ingenye yepulasitiki yomugqa esetshenziswa kakhulu namuhla. I-PE ngokwekhemikhali iqondwa kahle ngokuthi (C2H4)n. I-PE iyizinhlobo ezahlukene ze-HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) kanye ne-LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene). Funda okwengeziwe nge-PE (Polythene) ku-Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene. I-PE itholakala ikakhulukazi ku-petroleum noma igesi yemvelo. Lezi zinto ezenziwe ngabantu zitholwa lapho uwoyela ongahluziwe ucwengwa futhi kukhishwa amagesi.
I-PE flip-flops noma eyaziwa ngokuthi ama-PE slippers angenziwa kuphela nge-Polythene ehlanganiswe nezimboni ezinobuthi okuhlanganisa i-butane, i-benzene ne-vinyl acetate. Kokubili Ibhande kanye neSole yama-flip-flops angenziwa nge-PE. Kukhona ezinye izinhlobo ezenziwe nge-Synthetic Rubber futhi zihlanganiswe nama-PE granules ukukhiqiza ama-flip-flops. Lawa ma-PE flip-flops enziwa kakhulu eShayina njengoba kunezinhlobonhlobo zokusetshenziswa kwe-PE kanti i-China ihola isigaba se-PE flip-flops. Kukhona futhi ama-PE granules ahlanganiswe ne-Synthetic Rubber ukukhiqiza ama-flip-flops abuye abizwe ngokuthi ama-flip-flops eraba. Kuningi ukudideka okukhona lapho ama-PE flip-flop amaningi ethi avumelana nemvelo kodwa empeleni akunjalo.
I-PE njengoba siqonda yenziwa elabhorethri futhi lawa ma-PE Slippers awaphefumuli njengoba enziwe ngepulasitiki. Ama-PE slippers awasimeme futhi awahambisani nemvelo. Kukhona okuhlangenwe nakho okuvamile kokugqoka ama-Plastic slippers (PE slippers), unyawo luvame ukushelela futhi kube imibhede yokudla emanzi noma ulwazi lwensipho ngenkathi uhamba nge-PE flip-flops. Kuwumuzwa ongakhululekile ngokuphelele ngenkathi ugqoke ama-slippers amanzi noma ama-slipper emibhedeni yezinyawo. Iziliphu ze-PE ngenkathi ugqoke futhi uhamba ziholela ekuthambekeni okukhulu kokuthola izinyawo ezishisayo. Ama-slippers e-PE esikhundleni sokukunikeza induduzo angalimaza izinyawo zakho.
Ngalenothi elingenhla singakuncoma ukuthi ugqoke ama-flip-flops enziwe ngerabha yemvelo.
