With polymer consumption in 2004 crossing 400 kt and
a double digit growth rate, the Indian plastic industry
seems poised for consistent growth. To know more about
the polymer scenario in 2004 in India- demand, supply,
imports, exports, read

The
purpose of a core in a composite laminate is to increase
the laminate’s stiffness by effectively ‘thickening’
it with a low-density core material. This can provide
a dramatic increase in stiffness for very little additional
weight. To know more about various core materials, their
properties, strength and other features, read Cores in composite laminates increase stiffness and modulus
Automotive
OEMs have been seeking to save painting costs by using
PP interior compounds with improved scratch resistance
for quite some time. New blends with nano clay at 5%
level could provide a viable answer. Read more in Novel

Escalating
oil and fuel prices have been causing tremendous problems
for airlines all around the World. Newer designs to
reduce the overall weight of the aircrafts provide some
fuel economy. These designs have been incorporated using
higher amount of polymeric material. Read more in Need
for low cost air fare enhances the use of polymeric
material in aircrafts
