Properties & Use of Nylon, PVC & Acetal Plastics

Plastic material is the key innovation of our decade and it is involved in every type of new mechanical and development innovation & progress. In 2013, world total plastic product consumption was $281.5 billion and with an average growth of 6% it has been reached to 298.3 billion in 2014.

China is the highest plastic manufacturing country with the world and has 26% of market share in world plastic product manufacturing.

Over the decade we have modified and innovated different types of plastic materials from core plastic with some unique properties and nature. Plastic materials like Polyethylene, Acetal, Nylon, polypropylene, PVC and Polycarbonate are very common in the plastic industries. Some plastic materials are used to build heavy industrial machinery and some are used to store food in the household.

Why Polyethylene Plastic Material Are So Popular?

Polyethylene is the most common, but high demanding plastic material. The annual production of Polyethylene plastic is nearly 80 tonnes and it is increasing by 4% every year. Polyethylene is majorly used in manufacturing plastic bags, plastic films, geomembrane, container and bottles.

In 1898 one German chemist Hans Von Pechmann first synthesised the polyethylene material. Later on in 1933 two scientist Reginald Gibson & Eric Fawcett discover first industrial practical synthesis polyethylene.

Because of its high durability, versatility, chemical resistance, low production cost & recyclability, it is highly popular in the plastic manufacturing industry. This material is flexible than traditional material and long lasting and we are using in our day to day life like in grocery, shopping malls and in construction sites and machinery equipment.

Common Benefits of Polyethylene Plastic Materials

Highly Durable

Polyethylene materials are highly safe to handle and it does not react with any core chemicals. It is non-magnetic and easy to evaluate its core without any interference. Due to its high resistance power, a Polyethylene pipe does not rust, rot and corrode and therefore it is highly recommended water piping systems.

Cost Effective

Polyethylene pipes come with extended service life and therefore they are more cost efficient than traditional pipe material. Because of its lightweight and flexible design, they are easy to carry and install in the construction area. Their approx. service life is estimated between 50 to 100 years, based on design and installation.

Safety

Polyethylene plastic containers do not emit any toxic or harmful chemicals and therefore it is safe to store food products. Food in Polyethylene bags keeps moisture out and make food condensation and frost free.

Environmental Friendly

Polyethylene takes less energy in manufacturing as compared to non-plastic pipes. Polyethylene material are eco-friendly and can be easily recycled. It reduces the pollution and cut the price of wastage. It does not emit any potential chemical toxin in air or water at the time of manufacturing and installation.
