ABSTRACT
Plastics are an important group of raw materials for a wide array of
manufacturing operations. Applications range from small food containers to
large chemical storage tanks, from domestic water piping systems to
industrial piping systems that handle highly corrosive chemicals, from toys
to boat hulls, from plastic wrap to incubators, and a multitude of other
products. When properly designed and applied, plastic provides light
weight, sturdy/economic/resistant, and corrosion products.
