Made up of awide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compound, Plastics have become the essentials of life. We are rather surrounded by plastics. Plastic is used in almost every possible thing today. Plastic compounds for sheet extrusions is a common process in which high volume plastic is melted and reduced and compressed to sheets. The plastic is melted by mechanical energy in which screws and heaters are turned along the barrel. It has a variety of usage. Colours are also added during the procedure.

What are made from plastic Flame retardant compounds for rotomolding?

The items produced by this extrusion process include the following:

• Pipes
• Tubes
• Deck railings
• Fencing
• Window frames
• Weather stripping
• Plastic films
• Sheets
• Thermoplastic coating
• Wire insulation

With the advancement of technology, there are inventions of new usage of plastics.
Benefits of PET fiber

Polyethene terephthalate also known as PET fiberhas the following benefits:
• Easily available
• Much inexpensive than plastic.
• Water resistant.
• Can be easily processed through non-woven machines.
• Has avariety of usage hence is aversatile product.
• Quality varies from soft to firm thereby having different usage. Varies colours can be added to it thereby again increasing its usage.
• Durable
• Can absorb moisture content
• Has filling properties
• It can be easily washed in machines.

What is profile extrusion?
It can be termed as an extrusion of already shaped plastics which can be of various configurations. It can be either sheets or film products. The products made from plastics for profile extrusions may include tubes, window frame, door seals, etc.

What is rot moulding?

Rotational moulding is a process in which plastics are moulded to create stress-free, hollow, seamless items. Colors for rotomolding includes colours from red, blue, green, yellow, blue, orange to base colours like black, grey and white. Container, bins, carts, various types of toys, cones and road barriers and kayaks are the common products made out of rootmoulding.

The use of plastic materials has become so popular that traditional items like wooden furniture are also replaced with plastic furniture.
