The Application of polymer materials in the packaging industries
Packaging industry constitutes the biggest market of plastic materials. This industry mainly uses commodity polymers. The reason for this massive consumption is the low price, ease of processing, recyclability and high hygienic characteristics of these materials. Packaging is divided into two major sectors: Flexible packaging and Rigid packaging. Flexible packaging includes all types of polymeric films such as LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC and PET films. Nowadays, various other films are being produced by laminating with engineering polymers for special applications. Using plastics in production of plastic bags and replacing them with paper bags is very valuable environmentally, as cutting trees to produce papers is prevented. Manufacturing bags from polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene have revolutionized packaging of bulky items such as cement, plaster, cereal, grain, flour, tar, etc. Using these bags and replacing them with paper bags has highly advanced this sector of the packaging industry. The other major sector of the packaging industry is the Rigid packaging sector which includes a broad range of bottle types. Bottles, such as PET bottles which are more economical alternatives to glass bottles and metal containers, not only have improved the social welfare, but also have increased the overall general hygiene of the society. Materials being used for packaging include PET, PE, PP, etc. which have highly advanced the packaging industry to new horizons. iTech Polymer has an extensive relationship with manufacturers in the packaging industry and supplies all of the required grades to these industries regularly. The most important advantage of ak group Polymer in the packaging industry is offering very competitive prices and quick and on time delivery of materials. In case any inquired material is not present in the market, ak group Polymer suggests equivalent grades as replacement.
The Application of polymer materials in the home appliance industries
One of the largest markets for petrochemical polymer materials is the appliance manufacturing industry. Generally, with modernization of our everyday lives, there has been a vast expansion in appliances and their applications, and such expansion, has flourished by means of using advanced polymeric materials as the main raw material of this important industry. Plastic materials have lots of potentials, especially, these materials offer many possibilities in design of a product, the beauty and aestetic properties of the product, and most and foremost, the huge range of applications they can offer. Some of the examples of various appliances with which using plastics have a tangible effect on broadening their applications are Refrigerators, Vacuum Cleaners, washing machines, Electric irons, Juicers, Mincers, Kitchen mixers, Food processors, Microwave Ovens, etc. ak group Polymer plays a key role in this industry through supplying various grades of Polyamides, Poly Acetals, Poly Methyl Methacrylates, Polycarbonates, Styrenics such as SAN and ABS and also Engineering Compounds such as Polyamides, Reinforced PP and PBT and various TPE types. Additionally, commodity polymers, day after day, have expanded their position in this sector of industry steadily. Polypropylene is one of the major types of these polymers, which with adjusting the design of the plastic part can replace numerous materials in the industry. ak group Polymer supplies a very broad range of commodity polymers including various grades of Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) to the corresponding industrial sectors all over the world.
Application of polymer materials in the medical industry
Polyolefins such as Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) are hygienically one of the best choices of polymers. Neutrality of these polymers when contacted with many chemical substances makes them a noble choice for packaging various types of pharmaceutical products. Using Polyethylene pharmaceutical containers instead of other alternatives such as glass containers simplifies manufacturing, economizes energy consumption, highly varietizes design choices and lowers final product price. In addition, Polypropylene (PP) is highly used in routine medical applications such as disposable syringes and clothes. In addition to Polyolefins, Engineering polymers such as Polyacetals (POM), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrenes (ABS), Polymethylmethcrylates (PMMA), Polycarbonates (PC) and Polyamides (PA) are used in other hospital equipment such as imaging, Dialysis, artificial respiration and operating room equipment. Medical and medicinal businesses are invited to consult our knowledgeable experts in the field of polymer parts design and raw materials supply to find optimal solutions for specific applications.
Application of polymer materials in automotive industry
Nowadays, a large portion of automotive parts are manufactured from polymeric materials, particularly thermoplastic polymers. Using plastics instead of metals, has simplified manufacturing processes, cut processing costs and expanded automotive parts design capabilities. As the energy required for processing plastics is lower than metals processing energy, using plastics instead of metals results in lowering CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Plastics are generally lighter and have lower densities compared to metals and therefore as a result of application of plastics in automotive industry, the overall weight of cars has lowered and fuel consumption and air pollution is immensely reduced in the past recent years. Some other advantages of using plastics in automotive industry include recyclability, enhanced passenger comfort and safety, Aesthetic improvements and variety in design. Various plastics are used in different sections of cars. Engineering plastics like polyamides (PA) are used in auto engine. Numerous grades of polypropylene (PP) are used in interior and exterior parts of cars. Polycarbonates (PC) and Polymethylmethacrylates (PMMA) are used in cars headlights. Moreover, some other polymers used in automotive industry are Polyurethane (PU), Polyacetal (POM) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). ak group Polymer, in addition to providing consultation to various automotive industries in the field of parts design with engineering plastics, supplies a vast variety of engineering plastics and superior compounds to OEMs, as well as Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive companies.
The use of polymer materials in the construction industies
Polymers are changing the construction industry and are replacing the traditional construction materials day after day. From water and wastewater pipes and heating and cooling systems to doors, windows, flooring materials, wall and ceiling coverings, plastics have generated significant advantages by replacing traditional materials. As an example, due to corrosion and precipitation phenomena, the lifetime of traditional steel pipes is short, however, plastic pipes due to their high resistance to corrosion considerably solved such problems. On the other hand, as plastic pipes are great heat insulators, using plastic pipes has significantly reduced the level of energy loss of the hot or cold pipes. The insulating effect of doors and windows is also of vital importance. Sound insulation reduces transfer of noise from inside to outside and vice versa. Thermal insulation minimizes loss of energy during winter and summer time. ak group Polymer, not only supplies PVC, PP, PE, EPS, etc. to construction materials manufacturers, but also proposes exceptional solutions to industrialists active in replacing traditional construction materials with new plastic materials.
The Use of polymer materials in the agricultural industries
Expansion of agricultural technologies is nowadays impossible without plastics. Water consumption optimization, especially in dry countries, is one of the main reasons to use plastics in the agricultural industries. Polyethylene pipes, manufactured in various forms and shapes, can transport water without any pathway losses. Polyethylene films minimize water dissipation into the land. This distinctive application of polyethylene films has facilitated production of agricultural crops in inappropriate weather conditions using greenhouse and conservatory systems. Similar to the industrial sector, ak group Polymer supplies various Polyethylene grades and other polymer materials to the agricultural sector. Considering that plastics are utilized in severe weather conditions such as extreme cold or hot temperatures or extensive sunlight radiation circumstances, ak group Polymer offers accurate solutions to such environmental-based problems
