In today’s world, one of the most used plastics is High-Density Polyethylene Plastic, also referred to as HDPE Plastic. HDPE is a thermoplastic meaning it is a polymer that increases in flexibility upon heating and alternatively hardens on cooling. This type of plastic is well-known and preferred over alternative materials due to its strength, weight and ease of shape. Over time, the application and advantages of high-density polyethylene plastic have increased whilst the use of alternatives such as steel, concrete, and other plastics have been left behind. ...

Industrial Plastics offers a range of customisable insulated tanks for many industries and applications. The general principle of insulated water tanks is to prevent outside heat from passing into the water stored inside. Industrial Plastics achieved this by using 50mm insulation Foam on the whole body of the tank (top, bottom, cylinder) which is then covered by black HDPE cladding. Within this specific instance, the tank was customised with specially designed bolt-down feet with steel plates so it could be installed on a platform....

Industrial Plastics stock Polypropylene pipe as an alternative to traditional pipe materials. Commonly known as 'PP', Polypropylene pipe has similar properties to HDPE and polyethylene but has higher heat and chemical resistance, and is slightly harder than the alternatives. Given its properties, PP pipe is generally used in drainage systems or for industrial applications. Why use Polypropylene Pipe? Polypropylene plastic is a…...

What are ABS Pipes? Industrial Plastics offers a range of ABS Pipes, also less commonly referred to as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Pipes. The key difference between ABS and PVC pipe is that it is made with Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical commonly used to harden the plastic. As a result of this key difference, ABS material is commonly used in applications including containers for food and water....

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a strong, opaque thermoplastic. It is considered a polymer because it is made up of three chemical compounds called monomers: acrylonitrile, which makes it resistant, butadiene, which makes it strong and sturdy, and styrene, contributing to its rigidity and processability. What is ABS biggest advantage? Industrial Plastics offers a wide range of materials to broaden the possible applications....

Industrial Plastics offers Plastic Engineering which is a fairly evolved technique that is being used to solve some fundamental problems of plastic such as being too soft or quick to melt. This problem was first solved when polymer technology first arrived, which allowed plastic to gain a new dimension where developmental attributes were added. This solution evolved to include chemical engineering that has overtaken the metallic component with engineered plastics formed from strongly bonded molecules referred to as polymers. ...
