Building & Construction - Electricity
Plastics are used in all forms in the building and construction industry for a wide and growing range of applications including insulation, piping, roofing and flooring systems, cables, and much more. Attributes such as high mechanical strength, lightweight, ease of installation, and energy efficiency are driving their usage in this industry. Their growth is also supported by the unique features of plastic, including, durability, effective insulation, anti-corrosion, and good hygienic properties.
Plastics used in road construction are typically blow-molded materials suitable for the production of safety barriers, traffic cones, and plastic milestones.
The electric industry is applying polymers mainly for the production of insulators, cable protection tubes, lamps, switcher or plug components, or fuse houses. We can offer several HDPE and PP grades of good quality for these applications.
