INTRODUCTION
TO THE
WORLD OF POLYMERS
WHAT IS A POLYMER
 Any chemical entity repeats itself several times – Polymer
 (CH2 - CH2) n : Polyethylene
 (CH - CH2) n : Polypropylene
CH3
 Polymer
Thermoplastic (Can be brought to shape), PE, PP, PMMA,
PVC, PS, PET
Thermosetting (can’t be brought to shape), MF, UF, PF
CLASSIFICATION AS PER USAGE
 Commodity Polymers
General purpose use- High tonnage – Low value materials
PE, PP, PVC, PS, PET, PMMA
 Engineering Polymers
Special Purpose use - low tonnage – high value
Nylon engineering resin, polycarbonate, polysulphones, polyetherketones,
polyether etherketones
 Fibre / Film forming Polymers
Commodity as well as specialized.
PET (film, PSF, PFY) Polyamide, (Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6)
Globally, 80 to 90% of total polymer consumption is for commodity and fibre/film
forming polymers.
Note: The list is not exhaustive
Polymers
Thermoplastic
Commodity
Polymers
Polyolefins (PE & PP), PVC, PMMA,
PS, PET, EVA, PU, POM, ABS/SAN,
PVA, PV(OH)
Engineering /
Specialized
PBT, Polysulphones, PEK/PEEK,
Polyimides, Furan, Silicone, Cellulose
Acetate, PIB, PAN, Polycarbonate,
