New Delhi, 25th February 2018: Leading suppliers like KPL International get all the grades of specialty polymers of good quality. The specialty polymers are used in a number of industries and have wide applications. These polymers are soluble in water and their market value of approx. USD 9 billion will increase more in the future. They find application within the pharmaceutical, agriculture, electronics sectors and are preferred as polymer processing additives, and find use in other industries as well. Paper processing, water treatment, textile processing, sensors, ink/coating additives, production of petroleum products their applications around the world are increasing.

The multi-functional polymers have multiple uses and add new capabilities to an existing product. For instance, a specialty polymer used for thickening the paint may also disperse the pigment. The specialty polymers are divided into 4 different grades. Elastomers form the first grade. These polymers are highly abrasive and can be used in the conveyor belts, seals, and other products. The flexible polymer provides for a durable and strong end product.

Composites are another grade of the specialty polymers that are used for controlling or reducing noise. They can create a noise barrier anywhere desired, and hence find applications in many industries. They also possess the shock insulation properties.Thermoplastics are the specialty polymers that have special fluid resistance properties. Another grade is the thermoset, which is used in the epoxy resins, adhesives, coatings and other products.

Water absorption characteristics, temperature and strength are some factors to consider when you choose a specialty polymer grade. For instance, abrasions cause a high temperature (because of friction) and hence you need a polymer with good temperature resistance in some applications. While ethane can be used for the plastic bottles and bags, propane is preferred for the hard plastic products like plastic buckets. The non-stick pans are coated with tetra-fluoro-ethane. Hence, only the right kind of specialty polymer can provide you with right product characteristics. Quality can also be an important consideration. For instance, the conveyor belts need to handle years of work and friction, and hence need to be coated with good quality materials.Therefore, you can only trust
