Abstract
Different plastics can be characterized by measuring their densities. In an ealier Journal issue [J. Chem. Educ. 1991, 68, 349], Kolb and Kolb presented a method for separating and identifying plastics that required the preparation of a series of solutions with different known densities. The procedure described here simplifies the preparation by requiring only one solution.
