ABOUT PIPES
The term plastic is derived from Greek word PLASTICKOS, which means , to access rubber and the other natural product . Resins are both natural synthetic . Natural resins range from pitch and asafoetida to frankincense , myrrh amber synthetic resins replaced natural resins. The first plastic PRAKESINE later called XYLONTIE, was invented by an English chemist and inventor ALXANDER PSRNES in 6. It was JOHN WHYATT of the USA who recognized in 1869, the vital palatalizing effect of camphor and named the product CELLULOID . LEO HENDRICK BAEKELAND , America chemist ,commercially produced the first computer synthetic plastic from phenol and formaldehyde in . A significant property of most of the plastic is that they soften when heated. So that they can be formed into shapes, they became rigid on cooling . This property is derived from physical structure of poly vinyl chloride consists of a network of a large molecules called polymers . Long chains that separate under heat sufficiently to slide part , but cooling become firmly again. All plastic are manufactured by some methods of polymerization i.e., the process forming of the long chains and network of molecules.

The two types of plastics are

Thermo settings resins. Thermo plastics resins.

Thermo settings resins:

They become insoluble and infusible on heating. They are phonetic resins furnaresins amino plastic, alkyls and polyesters of unsaturated acids , epoxy resins, polyethanes and silicones.

Thermo plastic resins:

These can be melted and solidified repeatedly, unlikely thermo settings resins . They include cellulose derivatives and polymers. Others types of resins include oil soluble or modified resins , plastic such as casein and lignin extracted from natural products and special applications synthetics such1 as resins used as adhesives and as additives to paper and verity of means , including extrusion blow molding between rollers, thermo settings in hydraulic pressures.

INDUSTRIAL PLASTIC
Plastic which are used for the industrial purpose is called as industrial plastics. It is of two types. 1. structural foams. 2. sheet and films.

1.sructural foams:
It is of two types a)Rigid foams b) Flexible foams

Rigid foams:
Rigid polyether foams in sandwich foams have wide application a building component because of the stiffness imparted by the thickness foam centre for a given weight they are also best insolvent known today and so have wide applications in fitted slabs and are foamed into cavities at building site. A very important use of rigid foam is for furniture parts to produced wood structure.

Flexible foams:
Flexible foams, usually polyether urethane are made in slab foam up to 8 feet(2.4 meters) in which and as much as 5feet (1.5 meters) high; these are cut to required shapes or sizes or molded.Used almost exclusively by the automobiles industry for cash pads, arm sets and dash board covers.

Sheet and films:

These include vinyls plastics and cellulose acetate vinyl. Plasticized poly vinyl chloride by a door curtains. Protective clothing made in many colour , transparent, or opaque. Poly vinyl chloride can be with sensitive adhesives and printed with decorative patterns .Thicker sheet is coloured and embossed for women handbags, luggage and sheet covers. This film is used for packaging, especially for meat and fruits. If biaxial stretche , it forms a shrink films that retracts up to 60%. Another important use is , as a laminate for printed paper. Flooring tiles, large made of PVC are built up by lamination and decorated either by printing or by rolling in colour chips.The common title is vinyl asbestos, pressed into sheets on calendars and ten embossed and cut into title. Rigid PVC sheets has dimensional stability and flame redundancy and is often used in corrugated form building, constructions, partitions, drainage, gutters, industrial lightening panels and are other uses. Styrene film is widely used for rigid containers, laminating by press and casting especially packing , molding.

Laminating by press and casting

Formed plastic are produced by forming gas double in molten material. Plastic products are further shaped and finished by means of ranging from mechanical through laser machining, Ultrasonic welding radiation processing. Vinyl chlorid ,discovered in 1815, is formed by the reaction of acetylene with hydrochloric acid. The polymer poly vinyl chloride (PVC) was first produced in 1912.Plastic research and manufacture was proceeding on considerable scale in the US study of polymer in the laboratory of E.I. DuPont De Nemours and company from 1928 onwards ,which led to the super polyamide or Nylon. Vinyl chloride is made from ethylene and chlorine.Through acetylene can be also used. Then polymer is mainly processed in a highly plasticized form with varying degrees of flexible, by a calendaring ,extraction molding , by dry blends , mixture made below temperature from polymer plasticizer and pigments plasticizer are choosen to maintain flexible at low temperature. The range of applications of flexible poly vinyl chloride is enormous and covers flouring ,wire insulation ,home furnishing, piping etc. Acrylonitrile butanide- styrene possess a wide range of properties , notably scuff resistance , high impact of strength at low temperatures, making I suitable for high , quality luggage, refrigerators linings, food and detergent, containers because of its chemical resistance to heat .Thick acroconitrsle butanide styrene sheet is used for sports car , bodies and automobiles door. Nylon films mostly from nylon 6.6 are ideal for food packaging , because of strength , impermeability to oils and greases and high melting point . As such film is stream strippable ; they find many uses in hospitals .They are frequently used in laminations. Acrylic film have resistance to ultraviolet light high and exposure ,there prime use in surfacing laminations. Present revolutionary trend in water management speaks about drip irrigation, which is develop in Israel and practiced by Agriculture Based Nations in the World . Drip irrigation greatly deals with water management techniques and use pipes as core tools implementation with the of the sort ,pipe leads the way in strengthening in the countries economy .

PVC PIPES IN INDIA

Chief occupation in India is agriculture . For the developing country like India , modernization of the agriculture practices has pivotal in improving the economic states and process of modernization includes usage of high productive tools and agriculture practices .By using pipes, water can be transported efficiently with lesser no wastages, from the place where the is plenty of water available to the place where there is no less scarcity necessity of water. Pipes have been manufactured in India is agriculture . For the developing country like India , modernization of the agriculture practices has a pivotal place in improving the economy states and the process of modernization includes usage of high productive tools and agriculture practices .By using pipes , water can be transported efficiently with lesser no wastage, from the place where there is plenty of water available to the place where there is less scarcity necessity of water.

Pipes have been manufactured in India from the 1960s on imported lines and thereafter indigenous plans were also established . there are few pipe manufactures up to 1978 to 1979 and production capacity was increased rustically during 1979-1983. Cement pipes were the conventional pipes used for irrigation in the lift irrigation schemes. Now days PVC pipes replaced the conventional pipes and they constitute almost 90% in the respect (because of break downs , difficult in mutability etc).The usage of polymer vinyl chlorides pipes in agriculture fields has lessened the water seepage which was predominant in earlier days. The government of India allowed the imports of sophisticated machinery of technology, which are not available indigenously . The companies Europe and West Germany have competition in machinery producing plastics and it is an essential need for them to carry out continuous research for the up-to-date technology, which gives higher output and good quality products. The state Government of AP is using rigid PVC pipes for irrigations and water suppliers for the past few years .The state government is producing PVC pipes through APSIDC (Andhra Pradesh State Irrigation Development Corporation ) for its irrigation schemes and other development schemes .The panchayatraj development is producing pipes for the public water supply schemes .The main distributors and individual connections can use these pipes.
