Speciality engineering plastics from India have niche applications
 

Gharda Chemicals Limited, a well reputed and innovative chemical company has made India the first Asian country to manufacture a family of speciality engineering plastics belonging to Poly Sulfane (PS) and Polyether Ether ketone (PEEK) using in- house technology. PS and PEEK have high temperature resistance. These products can be used in applications demanding continuous use at temperatures ranging beyond 180 - 200°C. In fact, some of these materials can have a critical temperature as high as 200-250°C. Besides, high thermal properties, they also have excellent resistance to radiation. Combining these two unique features, these polymers have found several applications in electrical / electronic (Trays for chips, Electrical connectors) and in medical segments (Membrane for Dialysis). Their excellent chemical resistance is responsible for their use not only in the medical field (Dialysis Membrane), but also for information technology (printer cartridges). Their fire resistance characteristics are responsible for their selection in the aerospace industry. Dr. Prakash Trivedi, Head of Polymer Division of Gharda Chemicals during his presentation in the memory of Late Prof. N. R. Kamath at Mumbai on 24/1/2001 was very optimistic that this family of Polysulfones and Polyether Ether Ketone from India will help Indian plastic processors to upgrade their manufacturing facilities and participate in the sophisticated speciality market segments.
