ALL ABOUT PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY

->PLASTIC ENGINEERING DEALS WITH THE PROCESSING ,DESIGN ,DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURES OF USEFUL PLASTIC PRODUCTS.

->A PLASTIC IS A POLYMERIC MATERIAL THAT IS IN A SEMI-LIQUID STATE AND HAVING THE PROPERTY OF PLASTICITY.

->SOME OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE PLASTICS ARE DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY AND THE PLASTIC ENGINEER HAS TO DESIGN THE PRODUCT THAT MEETS CERTAIN SPECIFICATION WHILE THE COST TO BE MINIMUM.

-> PROPERTIES OF PLASTICS:

1) MECHANICAL PROPERTY OF PLASTICS

2) OUTDOOR WEATHER-ABILITY

3) THERMAL PROPERTIES

4) ELECTRICAL PROPERTY

5) BARRIER PROPERTY


6) RESISTANCE TO CHEMICAL ATTACK

-> SOME PLASTICS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM RE-CYCLED MATERIALS(SUCH AS POLY-BAGS) BUT IN PLASTIC ENGINEERING THE USE OF RE-CYCLED PLASTICS ARE VERY LIMITED BECAUSE THEIR CONSISTENCY AND THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES TEND TO BE LESS CONSISTENT.

->SPECIALTIES AFTER BECOMING PLASTIC ENGINEER:

 1) CONSUMER PLASTICS

2) AUTOMOBILE PLASTICS

3) MEDICAL PLASTICS

4) RECYCLED PLASTICS

5) BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS

6) ELASTOMERS

7) ULTRASONIC WELDING

8) PLASTICS PROCESSING: INJECTION MOULDING , MOLDING ,LAMINATING ,CALENDERING,ETC.

-> OVER THE LAST DECADES ,PLASTIC AND POLYMER TECHNOLOGIES HAVE ATTRACTED MULTI-CRORE INVESTMENTS FROM SOME OF THE INDUSTRIALISTS IN INDIA.

-> COMPANIES THAT HAVE SET UP THEIR PLANTS TO PRODUCE RAW MATERIALS ARE:

1) RELIANCE

2) SPIC

3) NOCIL

4) FINOLEX AND MANY MORE.
