  2. What is plastics? • Plastics are man-made materials. Today plastics are used in almost every phase of modem living. Some of the advantages of plastics are lightness, range of color, special physical properties, and ability to be mass produced

  3. What plastics is used to make? • Dinnerware and electric switchboxes are examples of the wide range of definite shapes made from plastics. Other examples are flexible film; sheeting, such as shower curtains and upholstery; airplane and automotive parts; internally lighted signs; coatings on textiles and paper; and many household gadgets. Plastics can be used to bind together such ma­terials as fibers of glass, sheets of paper, or wood. These materials form boat hulls, air­plane wing tips, and automobile bodies. Some modern automobiles have more than 300 in­dividual plastic parts

  4. Type of plastics • The two general classifications (groupings) of plastic materials are thermoplastic and thermosetting. Thermoplastic materials soften when heated, and harden when cooled. They can be made soft or hard again and again. • Thermosetting materials harden into permanent shape when put under heat and pressure .Once they are hard they can never be softened again

  5. Examples of Plastics • The type’s thermoplastics are Acrylic, cellulosics, nylon, polyethylene and vinyl . Melamine and urea, phenolic and polyesters are thermosetting plastic types.

  6. Examples of thermoplastics

  7. Examples of thermosetting plastics

  8. Differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics

  9. Differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics

  10. Advantages of plastic: • Advantages of plastic: • Plastic are light in weight. • They can be easily moulded and have excellent finishing. • They possess very good strength and toughness.  They possess good shock absorption capacity. • Plastic are corrosion resistant and chemically inert. • They have low thermal expansion of co-efficient and possess good thermal and electrical insulating property. • Plastic is very good water resistant and possess good adhesiveness. • Plastic is strong, good and cheap to produce.

  11. Advantages of plastic: • Plastic is a recycling process and it does not decompose. • Plastic bottles can be reused and restored over again and again. • Plastic is one of the unbreakable. • Plastic is an odourless. • Plastic is used for building, construction, electronics, packaging (gladwrap) and transportation industries. • Used to make - Water bottles, pens, plastic bags, cups etc.

  12. Advantages of plastic: • Plastic are Very cheap to make. • Durability • Strength • Chemical resistance. • Advantages of plastic are used to produce another product. • Used to reduce soil and wind erosion.

  13. Disadvantage of plastics: • Plastic is a nonrenewable resources. • Plastic is softness. • causes CANCER • Disadvantage of plastics are embrittlement at low temperature. • Disadvantage of plastics are deformation under load.

  14. Disadvantage of plastics: • Disadvantage of plastics are low heat resistant and poor ductility. • Disadvantage of plastics are combustibility. • Produces toxic fumes when it is burnt • It is a recycle process, but it is very costly.
