PLASTIC
Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a
main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be moulded, extruded or
pressed into solid objects of various shapes.
TYPE OF PLASTICS:-
1. Polyethylene Terephthalate
2. High-Density Polyethylene
3. Polyvinyl Chloride
4. Low-Density Polyethylene
5. Polypropylene
Polyethylene Terephthalate:-
 Polyethylene Terephthalate sometimes absorbs odours and flavours

from foods and drinks that are stored in them.
 Items made from this plastic are commonly recycled.
 PET(E) plastic is used to make many common household items like
beverage bottles, medicine jars, rope, clothing and carpet fibre.
INDUSTRY SPECIFICATION:-
 Good gas & moisture barrier properties
 High heat resistance
 Clear
 Hard
 Tough
 Microwave transparency
 Solvent resistant
 MARKET PRICE :- 109-111/KG.
High-Density Polyethylene
 High-Density Polyethylene products are very safe and are not known to
transmit any chemicals into foods or drinks.
 HDPE products are commonly recycled. Items made from this plastic
include containers for milk, motor oil, shampoos and conditioners, soap
bottles, detergents, and bleaches.
 It is NEVER safe to reuse an HDPE bottle as a food or drink container if it
didn’t originally contain food or drink.
 Excellent moisture barrier properties
 Excellent chemical resistance
 Hard to semi-flexible and strong
 Soft waxy surface
 Permeable to gas
 HDPE films crinkle to the touch
 Pigmented bottles stress resistant
MARKET PRICE :- Rs 87.25 per kg

Polyvinyl Chloride:-
 Polyvinyl Chloride is sometimes recycled.
 PVC is used for all kinds of pipes and tiles, but is most commonly found in
plumbing pipes.
 This kind of plastic should not come in contact with food items as it can
be harmful if ingested.
 Excellent transparency
 Hard, rigid (flexible when plasticised)
 Good chemical resistance
 Long term stability
 Good weathering ability
 Stable electrical properties
 Low gas permeability
MARKET PRICE :- 99 PER KG
Low-Density Polyethylene:-
 Low-Density Polyethylene is sometimes recycled.
 It is a very healthy plastic that tends to be both durable and flexible.
 Items such as cling-film, sandwich bags, squeezable bottles, and plastic
grocery bags are made from LDPE.
 Tough and flexible
 Waxy surface
 Soft – scratches easily
 Good transparency
 Low melting point
 Stable electrical properties
 Good moisture barrier properties
MARKET PRICE :- Rs 83.75 per kg

Polypropylene:-
 Polypropylene is occasionally recycled.
 PP is strong and can usually withstand higher temperatures.
 It is used to make lunch boxes, margarine containers, yogurt pots, syrup
bottles, prescription bottles.
 Plastic bottle caps are often made from PP.
 Excellent chemical resistance
 High melting point
 Hard, but flexible
 Waxy surface
 Translucent
 Strong
MARKET PRICE :- Rs 86/Kg

WALL FINISHES:-
 Wall finishes used for the interiors are quite delicate and need maintenance.
 The new contemporary trend has brought about great deal of increase in the
usage of various types of wall finishes for the aesthetic purpose in the interiors
and exteriors.
TYPE OF WALL FINISHES:-
1. Cement plastered Finish

2. Cement Textured Finish
3. Plaster of Paris Finish
4. Gypsum Plaster Finish
5. Glass Mosaic Finish
Cement plastered Finish

 It is prepared in the form of mortar with cement, sand and water in proper
proportions and applied on masonry manually to achieve a smooth finish or sand
faced finish.
Cement Textured Finish

 This is a decorative finish and its mortar is prepared in cement based material. It
is applied with sand faced plaster with a trowel and after that it is coloured with
paint.
Plaster of Paris Finish

 Plaster of Paris or simply plaster is a type of building material based on calcium
sulphate hemihydrates. This is a smooth finish achieved by plaster of Paris
generally applied on internal walls.
Gypsum Plaster Finish

 This just like plaster of Paris finish but gypsum based material is used to prepare
mortar.
 It is more durable and finer as compared to Plaster of Paris Finish.
Glass Mosaic Finish

 Glass mosaic tiles are small 1”x1” on a cloth to get a workable size 12”x12” and
this tile is pasted with an adhesive on wall surfaces.
 It can also be pasted on curved surfaces.
