Plastic is not an oil, not to mention you can make plastic from air and nothing else (other than energy). (You can make plastic from CO2 and Water.)
Plastics are polymers, oils are not. Oils have specific chain lengths, polymers have no specific length. Both are hydrocarbons, but almost everything we interact with is, so that's not saying much.
Saying something degrades with heat means very little - everything degrades with heat. The question is how much heat.
- MengerSponge 3y agoUmm actually, iron-56 doesn't degrade with any amount of heat ;)
- fodkodrasz 3y agoUmm actually, it does, with certain amounts of heat (energy), despite having one of the strongest binding force per nucleon for known nuclei. It is energetically a net-negative process, you need to input energy to split that atom.
