Pre compounded PE100 black HDPE pipes: Insurance for long service life

The major challenge before mankind in coming years will be to reach clean potable water to consumers without leakage during transport and without affecting the water quality. Specified and pre compounded black PE100 pipes have already demonstrated world over that it is the best candidate to accomplish this job over a minimum lifetime 50 – 100 years. It is necessary to understand the very important role compounding plays in getting the best quality out of specified PE100 materials to derive the maximum lifetime benefits.

Ethylene supply and markets are shifting

For the last two decades, location of polymers and their feedstock suppliers are moving towards abundant and cheaper supplies of oil - mainly the Middle Eastern region. Due to the proximity of the producers to cheaper feedstock materials, higher profit margins are being realized, giving them a cost advantage over producers anywhere else in the World.

Degradable plastics to grow at 17% until 2010 in USA

Degradable plastics are predicted to grow by 17% in USA, reaching consumption levels of almost 225,000 tons and market value of US$610 million in 2010. Average prices will continue to decline as a result of higher capacity and greater production efficiencies, as well as price mixes reflecting fastest growth for the lowest priced resins. Degradable plastic applications are also being expanded by enhanced performance properties brought about by more sophisticated polymerization and blending techniques.

Recent developments in plastics for electronic devices have good growth potential

Plastics, on account of their property as outstanding insulators, find application in the field of electronics. Plastics, when suitably modified, can also conduct electricity, and are therefore more versatile and offer many possibilities beyond insulation. These unparalleled properties together with design and processing methods, frequently provide economical solutions that justify the dominance of plastics in the electrical & electronic (E/E) sectors.

Competition from Asia compels European PE film industry to innovate and consolidate

Stiffer competition from Asian countries, particularly from China, has caused major changes in the European PE film industry. These changes are very similar to those that were seen in North America. Overall, 1300 plant sites across Europe are involved in PE film business. However, the continent has recently witnessed few notable shifts in production. The most significant change has been in the UK – where an 11% drop has been noted in the number of PE film manufacturing companies. France and Italy too have seen some loss of capacity reflecting challenging market conditions for polyethylene film extruders.
