Text 4 Plastics
Plastics have an ever-widening range of uses in both the industrial and consumer sectors. Plastics are produced by polymerization process: bulk polymerization, solution polymerization and interfacial polymerization. Chemical additives are often used in plastics to produce some desired characteristic. For instance, plasticizers make a polymer more flexible, lubricants reduce problems with friction and pigments add color. Many plastics are manufactured as composites. This involves a system where reinforcing material (fibres made of glass or carbon usually) is added to a plastic resin matrix. Plastic foams, which are composites of plastic and gas, offer bulk with low weight.
Plastics shaping and finishing techniques depend on three factors: time, temperature, flow (deformation).
One of the most widely used operations is that of extrusion. Extrusion products such as pipes are produced by pumping a plastic through a die or shape. Other operations of plastics manufacturing are extrusion blow moulding, injection moulding, compression moulding, transfer moulding. Some plastics first pressed into shape then sintered – exposed to extremely high temperatures that bond it into a cohesive mass without melting it.
As for ways of usage – the building industry is a major consumer of plastics including packaging plastics. High-density polysthene (HPDE) is used for pipes. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is used in sheets for building materials and similar items. Many plastics are used to insulate cables, wires; and polystyrene in the form of foam serves as insulation for walls, roofs. Roofing, door, window frames, mouldings, hardware – are other plastic items. Fuel lines, pumps, electronic devices interior paneling, seats, car bodies, sports equipment are also examples of plastics products.
