It depends on the type of plastic. Ignition temperatures range among any number of hundreds of degrees. Plastic Melting Point Ignition Temperature ABS 88°-125° 416° Acrylics 91°-125° 560° Cellulosics 49°-121° 475°-540° Nylons 160°-275° 424°-532° Polycarbonate 140°-150° 580° Polyesters 220°-268° 432°-488° Polyethylene ld 107°-124° 349° Polyethylene hd 122°-137° 349° Polypropylene 158°-168° 570° Polystyrene 100°-120° 488°-496° Polyurethanes 85°-121° 416° PTFE 327° 530° P.vinylideneclor 212° 454° PVC 75°-110° 435°-557° Wool Does not melt 228°-230° Cotton Does not melt 250° Rubber Does not melt 260°-316°
Ignition Temperature Of Plastic
There are oven-tempered plastic wraps in your grocery store. Read the box for the correct cooking temperature.
The plastic will melt at a lower temperature than it will burn, so you shouldn't worry. What you should worry about is your reason for putting plastic in an oven. Different plastics have different melting and ignition temperatures, can you be more specific?
