Composite development services supporting research, specification, design and production including performance and property testing of composite materials
Application area of plastics:
Automotive: plastics component weighs 50 percent less than similar components made from other materials which means a 25 to 35%improvment in fuel economy and subsequently less pollution. for every kilogram lost, car will emit 20 kilograms less of carbon dioxide over its plastic reduce composite materials that are strong wear resistant and can handle high loads and impact, can be metal plated for decorative components where appearance is premium.
Packaging industry: plastic packaging like bottles, creates & pallets closures, disposable, Drums, Food Containers & trays, film, EPS protective packaging intermediate Bulk container, flexible packaging to name the few packaging for food medicals, chemicals Pharmaceuticals, industrial, consumer good and durable.
Aerospace: plastics provide high strength -to weight ratios, low friction. High strength, and temperature stability suitable to the extreme temperature found at high- altitude and in outer space. For under water simulations of in-space operations, plastics don’t corrode and provide natural buoyancy for plastic practice sessions. for commercial airliner, some 22% of the airbus 380 fleet is built with carbon -fibre reinforced plastics – composite center wing box ,a crucial structure which connect to wings to the fuselage the fin the rear fuselage section and for the ceiling beams). A380 burns fuel per passenger at a rate comparable to that of an economical family car, less weight saves fuel, anticipated at around 20% and reduce maintained coast approximate 30% then for the aluminum aircraft.
Medical Industry: plastic materials can be sterilized hundreds of times without degradation. light weight plastics are used to from hearing aids, replacement joints, non-surgical supports and therapy equipment. clear plastics provide visibility for transfusions, syringes, surgeries, diagnostic equipment & disposable like I.V Catheters, I, V. sets blood and urine bags of all kinds
Construction: The construction sector is the second highest user of plastics after packaging. Plastics are easily formable and their light weight enables them to be easily transported and moved on site, combined with excellent strength to weight ratio, durability ,cost effectiveness, low militance and corrosion resistance ( no need to regular re-painting) which make an economically consume 35% production totally used in construction , producing rain water and cabling goods ,large diameter pipes for sewage, drainage and potable water made from PVC and Polyethylene .Cladding and Profiles for windows , doors , coving, and skirting made from PVC-U, exterior cladding using phenolic is replacing timber are fire resistance.
Insulation: polystyrene rigid foam is incorporated in to panels or sandwiched in to construction of walls and roofs as they are light durable and meet energy conservation regulations. Elastomers used for weather-strips aperture seals, gaskets and expansion joints.
Electronics: applications like plastic keypads and housing for telephones machines photocopiers and computers, food processors, toasters, kettles and hairdryers appliances to smartphones, many of the latest devices created in the electrical& Electronic sector capitalize of new generation plastics.
Electrical insulations: Plastics has good dielectric strength, arc resistance, thermal performance and insulating properties offers resistance to mechanical shocks and stress as well as flexibility and durability, making them ideal for vital application such as safe reliable and efficient power supplies. Flame retardant further make them fire safe and ideals for used in electrical wires, and cables.
Sports & leisure: plastics have revolutionized sports in recent years. From tracks on which Olympic athletes pursue new records to shoes, clothing safety equipment’s (helmet kneepads) and stadium construction (water and drainages pipes, seats, roofing), modern sports rely on plastics. Theater’s theme parks, swimming pools, garden are all now unimaginable without plastics.
