Plastics:
catering
to the play industry
Safe, Hygenic
& Durable
Internationally
American and European standards for toys and playground equipments
have recommended more use of plastic than any other products.
Playing
is fundamental. From stone-age, human beings have been striving for
activities which could improve physical, mental and emotional fitness
for his well being and happiness. To play is the most typical activity
of children. All children do it poor or rich, wherever they live.
It comes naturally to them; they do not have to learn it. It is our
duty to provide children with a safe, hygienic, innovative and durable
play-solution to fulfill their desires. Plastic is the answer! Be
it indoor or outdoor environment, school grounds or playgrounds, plastic
equipment designed to protect children from the risks of metals and
wood equipment is now available. When there was no plastic, playing
items like playground equipment and toys where made either of metals
or wood, which were hazardous in many ways. The disadvantages of traditional
material include:
Easily corroded
Prone to accident
Unhygienic
Higher cost, and
Less durability
Presently, these raw materials have been replaced by plastic like:
L.I.D.P.E.
H.D.P.E
F.R.P. etc.
In this plastic age, plastics is everywhere, from household items
to toys from recreational to agricultural, from transportation to
industries, from health to science, in every field plastics is being
used in some from. A manmade product is lurking behind every door.
With this raw material, products are safe and strong. It can be moulded
to any shape and size, simple or complex. A child’s world without
plastics is simply unimaginable. With plastics it is a matter of stretching
possibilities and working on imaginations. It does help a child to
grow to be a more complete human-being.
Plastics: A Comprehensive Solution
If there is a need of hollow parts, especially
those with complex and varied shapes, rotationally moulded plastic
could be the answer. This unique and rapidly growing process permits
the use of design and materials tailored to suit particular needs.
It is superior to other moulding techniques with respect to cost reduction
and economical runs. Rotomoulded products often provide a light weight
replacement for more traditionally used materials. Improved technology
has advanced the industry in process control resin development and
mould construction. Computerized machinery and a growing selection
of resins and compounds enable the rotational moulding processor to
rapidly expand the pace of converting applications from more traditional
materials and other plastic processes.
