Worldwide plastic production has been growing as
the durable, primarily petroleum-based material
gradually replaces materials like glass and
metal. Today, an average person living in Western
Europe or North America consumes 100 kilograms of
plastic each year, mostly in the form of
packaging.

Polyethylene plastics are some of the most common
and most used materials in general production
worldwide. It is used for a multitude of uses
from bottles, food, and general packaging, to
more industrial uses such as wear guides,
rollers, bushes, chute liners and cutting boards.

Nylon plastic is one of the most commonly used
polymers. Today it can be found in high load
bearings, wear pads, support and guide wheels,
conveyor and tension rollers, wire rope sheaves,
buffer, pads, gears to guitar strings, and many
other applications.

POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC
12
Polypropylene plastic is often used for reliable
storage of liquids and foodstuffs. Given its
great resistance to chemicals, impact and
scratching combined with its resistance to
moisture and oxygen permeation, polypropylene is
one of the most used materials for keeping areas
where food and liquid are being used or stored.

• Very high chemical resistance
• Excellent fatigue resistance
• Excellent impact resistance
• Higher scratch resistance compared with
  Polyethylene HDPE

PVC PLASTIC
15
PVC plastics have also been known as 'vinyl' when
used as flooring or a covering for surfaces.
PVC's waterproof and rigid qualities allow it to
be used for other applications such electric
cable housing, playground equipment, signs,
covers and fume cupboards.
16

• Excellent electrical insulating properties
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Ease of fabrication
• Non-conductive

POLYCARBONATE PLASTIC
18
Polycarbonate plastic is a popular replacement
for applications where glass would often be used.
Polycarbonate can also be coated to be used as
bullet-resistance glass and has been used in
banks, cars and fighter jets due to its
similarity to glass as well as its intense
durability after a coating has been applied.
19

• Excellent impact resistance (250 times stronger
  than glass)
• Very good optical properties
• Can be cold formed in thinner gauges
• Self-extinguishing
