This document provides an overview of thermoplastics, including their properties, types, applications, and market rates. Thermoplastics are plastics that can be remolded and reused, as they soften when heated but do not undergo chemical changes. Common thermoplastics include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, polyethylene, and methacrylate. Thermoplastics have a variety of applications in construction, including use in roofing, windows, flooring, and temporary structures. The document concludes by listing market rates for thermoplastic pipes from different manufacturers.

4. WHAT IS PLASTIC?
• Material of “New age”.
• Alexander Parkes in England created “Parkesine”, the first man-made plastic.
• Its basic constituent is prepared synthetically or semi- synthetically from monomer.
• Easily machined , cast and joined.
• Ease of manufacturing and versatility ,hardness, elasticity, breaking strength,
temperature resistance, thermal dimensional stability, chemical resistance
• Plastic is a composition of :
Organic polymer+ Carbon+ Oxygen+ Nitrogen+ Sulphur
chalk , starch, ivory dust, zinc oxide (according to the requirement).
• Plastic can be classified as: ELASTOMERS, THERMOSETS & THERMOPLASTICS.

5. WHAT IS PLASTIC?
• ADVANTAGES:
– Light in weight.
– Comes in various shapes and sizes and colors.
– Strong, water resistant, cheap, corrosion and chemical resistant.
– Are used in construction industry for both interior and exterior works.
– Can be remolded and reused.
• DISADVANTAGES :
– Non biodegradable.
– They produce poisonous gaseous production when decomposed or burnt that causes
cancer.

7. • DEFINITION : These are the plastic that soften on heating without undergoing any chemical change.
They are bonded by covalent bonds and weak van der walls forces hence can be easily
moulded to any shape and can also be reused.
Made from polymer resins.
• Celluloid, which is considered the first thermoplastic, it made its appearance in the mid-
1800s and reigned in the industry for approximately 100 years.
• ADVANTAGES :
– Can be mass produced in low cost.
– Can replace metals.
– Comes in variable thickness and properties according to use.
• DISADVANTAGES :
– They melt at high temperatures.
– They undergo chemical leaching over a period of time and hence affects our health.

8. PROPERTIES
• Can be remoulded and recycled
• Can be degraded to some level.
• Melts before passing to a gaseous state.
• They are brittle and glossy.
• Soluble in certain solvents.
• Swell in the presence of certain solvent.
• Good resistance to creep.
• Also provide sound and heat insulation.
• Ex - pipes, bottles , buckets, glazing etc.

9. TYPES OF THERMOPLASTICS
• Polyvinyl chloride(PVC).
– It is a tough, lightweight material that is resistant to acids and
bases.
– Much of it is used by the construction industry, such as for
vinyl siding, drainpipes, gutters and roofing sheets.
– It is also converted to flexible forms with the addition of
plasticizers, thereby making it useful for items such as hoses,
tubing, electrical insulation, coats, jackets and upholstery.
– Flexible PVC is also used in inflatable products, such as water
beds and pool toys.
• Poly-propylene.
– It is useful for reusable plastic food containers, microwave- and
dishwasher-safe plastic containers, casing, ropes, carpets,
plastic moldings, piping systems, car batteries, insulation for
electrical cables and filters for gases and liquids.
– It is also used for making heat-resistant medical equipment.
– Polypropylene sheets are used for stationery folders and
packaging and clear storage bins.

10. TYPES OF THERMOPLASTICS• Poly-ethylene
– It is used to manufacture moving machine parts,
bearings, gears, artificial joints and some bulletproof
vests.
– High-density polyethylene (HDPE), recyclable plastic
no. 2, is commonly used as milk jugs, liquid laundry
detergent bottles, outdoor furniture, margarine tubs,
portable gasoline cans, drinking water distribution
systems, water drainage pipes, and grocery bags.
– Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) is used for
packaging film, sacks and gas pipes and fittings.
• Methacrylate.
– It serves as a sturdy substitute for glass for items such
as aquariums, motorcycle helmet visors, aircraft
windows, viewing ports of submersibles, and lenses of
exterior lights of automobiles.
– In medicine, it is used in bone cement and to replace
eye lenses.
– Acrylic paint consists of PMMA particles suspended in
water.

11. APPLICATION
• AS A BUILDING MATERIAL
Construction professionals select plastic materials based on the following criteria:
 Durability:
Plastic hardware is corrosion resistant and hence can survive harsh weather conditions.
 Cost Effectiveness
 Recyclable:
To reduce harmful waste accumulation on the site.
 Energy Saving:
Plastic consumes less heat than metal, hence the insulating effects of some plastics can decrease
sound pollution level.
 Ease of installation
 Maintenance required- less.

12. APPLICATION
 Domes and Skylight
 Roofing
 Windows and Doors
– Polycarbonate, a material also used in
eyeglasses is used as panes. These clear,
lightweight, shatter-resistant plastic products
have low thermal conductivity, which can
help to reduce heating and cooling costs.
– Vinyl window frames are inherently energy
efficient and can save trillion thermal units of
energy per year, helping reduce the
greenhouse gas emissions associated with
energy generation—all the while cutting
maintenance time, materials and costs.
 Hardware Accessories
– Washers, nuts, bolts, sleeves, anchoring
wires.

13. APPLICATION Flooring :
– Thermoplastic vinyl tiles – these tiles are laid on dry and clean floor on cut back bitumen
adhesives spread and rolled with light rollers. These tiles are unaffected by water , oil
and grease.
– PVC Sheets – 1mm thick and are provided with cheaper backing material. For better
adhesion these sheets are roughened on the under side.
– Flooring tiles and rolls.
 Temporary Structures
– Guard cabins, tents.
 Decorated Laminated Plastic Sheet
– Tough , durable , available in variety of colour and texture.
