The Main Applications of Our Polymer Range
We are surrounded by polymers wherever we look. Be it the plastic bag by your side, or the rubber of the earbud you are using, polymers compose all.
The term “Polymer” is derived from a Greek word, that means “many parts”. A polymer is constituted of many small parts known as “Monomers”, which have now become the oxygen of industrial products.
In 1909, Bakelite was manufactured as the first plastic polymer. It was then followed by the first production of polymeric fiber, Rayon, in 1910. Later, with the enhancement of the manufacturing industry, various polymers started coming to light with the rising number of polymer exporters, bringing revolution to society.
With the discovery of polymers, their applications are rising. It replaced many age-old traditions, plastic polymer suppliers started capturing the market slowly, and today, we are hardly able to think of our day without polymers.
So, let’s discuss in this blog, the various sorts of applications of the wide range of polymers we derive and get an overview of the market.
i) Serving Raffia needs –
Varieties of bags, such as PP bags, Rachel bags, shade nets, and greenhouse twines, are made up of PP Raffia polymer. It provides the bags with more strength, and flexibility, and helps in optimizing space in the best way. Polymer makes those products suitable for dry packaging.
ii) In pipes, containers, and toys –
HDPE, being a polymer of high density, is often used in making strong containers. All the plastic bottles, and chemical containers you see by your side, are made up of HDPE (High-Density Polyethelene). The pipes used in the pipeline system, the toys children love playing with, have got HDPE polymer as the raw material. Its high-density quality makes the materials durable and trustworthy to use in the long term.
LDPE(Low-Density Polyethelene), often sold by the plastic raw material suppliers, is used in manufacturing dispensible bottles, plastic parts of devices, and a number of molded lab equipment.
iii) In plastic furniture and low friction applications –
Low friction applications like machinery, vehicles, and gears, are often made up of polypropylene polymer. Its slippery and tangible surface plays a major role in making plastic furniture. Besides all these, different sorts of cleaning products, textiles, are often produced using polypropylene polymer.\
iv) In pipes, automotive interiors, cable, and wire insulation –
PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride, has a large application in the construction industry. It is widely supplied by chemical distribution companies, to make durable yet lightweight pipes. Its massive electrical insulation property makes it an obvious choice to use in cable wire insulation, whereas PVC also plays an extensive role in being the crucial raw material for various automotive interiors.
Masterbatches: Ensuring the polymers quality –
The overproduction of polymers results in reduced quality. Masterbatches offers you a variety of colored polymers, while improving its standard even more. Masterbatches are generally used during the processing of polymers to introduce color pigments, additives, and microbials into the product. It not only gives rise to the needed colored polymer, but also enhances the product’s consistency, stability and removes the hazardous nature of the additives.
We, the New Rainbow Africa, supply the Masterbatches, made in a purely scientific way, that enables you to create a better-quality product, using our polymers as the best-suited raw materials.
Moreover, the uses and applications of polymers are beyond imagination. This massive growth in the industry has led to a decrease in product quality to meet the larger demand. But, we at New Rainbow Africa, the best polymer supplier in Tanzania, have been supplying the best quality polymers in a wider range, to ensure you won’t have to compromise on the standard of your products. To manufacture your products while maintaining top-class quality, get in touch with us to get the supply of the best polymer raw materials at the earliest.
