We are nearing Plastivision 2011 which will be held in Bombay from 20th to 24th January, 2011 and we would like to take this opportunity to invite all our customers to our Stand F-7 in Hall 5. Mr. Chrit Jacobs from Ankerpoort, Holland and Mr. Lee from Kumyang, Korea will be on hand to discuss regarding Flame Retardant Chemicals & Blowing Agents for PVC. We will also present our range of NEW ONE PACKS (Calcium/Zinc and Lead) for PIPES and CABLES along with our REACH approved liquid mixed metals (Barium/Zinc and Calcium/Zinc)

We look forward to seeing you all at Plastivision 2011.

Kind Regards

The trend towards elimination of heavy metals in applications like PVC cables has seriously begun and we have a complete portfolio of Calcium/Zinc stabilizers covering the entire temperature spectrum and which meets all the required specifications. The same is true for PVC pipes where a good start has been made with PVC plumbing pipes. To ensure a proper strategy for heavy metal reduction/elimination, Reliance has set up a committee for various PVC additives like plasticizers, heat stabilizers etc. A.L.A. Chemicals will play a prominent role in the same.

We are delighted to inform all of our customers that all departments of our company have been successfully certified for ISO 9001:2008.

We offer a complete range of Lead, Ca/Zn, Liquid/Solid mixed metal, Ba/Cd, Ba/Zn, K/Zn, Tin stabilizers along with a full line of metallic stearates and polymeric plasticizers.

We have recently installed the latest Brabender which is fully computerized & which along with our Gottfert extruder would help us in development of new (Lead & Ca/Zn systems) for pipes and will also be help to our customers in assuring quality control.

Development of Ca/Zn stabilizers for pipes has been well accepted by the industry and augurs well for the future. We have positioned ourselves for the REACH legislation which comes into effect in November end & have products that fully satisfy exporters of artificial PVC leather cloth, calendered film & other flexible products.

Our trading division sells the following products in India:

• Viscosity Depressants, Antistatic Agents, Biocides, Bonding Agents (Akcros, U.K.)
• Flame Retardant (Ankerpoort, Holland)
• Powder Nitrile (LG Chem, Korea)
• Emulsion PVC (Kaneka, Japan)
• Blowing Agents (Kum Yang)

Apart from the above range of chemicals, we also represent M/s Molecor who are the leaders in orientation of plastics technology and who currently offer machinery for O-PVC pipes. Check out the video of the strength of the O-PVC pipe at our home page.

With the consumption of PVC increasing over the years, A.L.A. Chemicals will be well positioned to supply a wide range of additives to the industry and satisfy their needs.

Wishing all our friends & customers a very HAPPY DASSHERA!!!

Molecular Orientation is a physical process that modifies plastics molecular structure. Amorphous PVC-U (Un-Oriented PVC) structure is reorganized into a layered structured (see figure 1) that provides plastic pipes outstanding properties such as high impact resistance (almost unbreakable), high stiffness and fatigue resistance, an excellent behaviour with external loads, and maximum flexibility (see figure 2).

PVC is essentially an amorphous polymer in which the molecules are located randomly. However, under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and speed, and by stretching the material, it is possible to orient the polymer molecules in the same direction as which the material has been stretched (see figure 3). Depending on the process parameters used and mostly stretch ratio, a higher or lower orientation degree will be obtained. The result is a plastic with a layered structure which layers can be seen at a glance (refer figure 1).

Also PVC-O pipes offer a bigger hydraulic capacity, minimum loss of pressure and a significant reduction in wall thickness and therefore weight, which means transportation and installation savings. All these improvements are made with lower raw material consumption for the same requirement of pipe, resulting in a significant cost reduction.

In terms of performance, PVC-O’s shows a very different stress-strain curve when compared conventional plastics and comes very close to the curve of metals (see figure 4).

PVC-O pipes are the MOST ECOLOGICAL and environmental friendly solution for water transportation according to “Estimation of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions due to production, usage, and final usage of PVC, HDPE, PP, CAST IRON and CONCRETE PIPES” Department of Engineering Projects, UNIVERSITAT POLITECNICA DE CATALUNYA (Barcelona, December 2005). This report shows the CO emissions and energy consumption due to raw material production, pipe manufacturing, usage and usage life of pipes for water transportation comparing PVC-O, PVC-U, PE and CAST IRON pipes. PVC-O pipes should be the best choice for water transportation (see figure 5).

Molecor has developed its own technology to manufacture PVC-O pipes. It is a completely new system (see figure 6) that puts together the best features of what there was till now: In batch system and In line system. Molecor System is an In batch system that has been improved in such a way that is able to absorb the production of an extruder working in line with it. Molecor system has all the advantages of an In batch system, stability, high orientation degree, wide range of products (diameter and pressure), easy to work with, etc, and also has the advantages of the In line system, layout compatibility and efficiency.

Molecor installation is a completely automatic system and has the important features as follows:

Full Dry System:
There is no water involved in the whole process which means:

• Safety- no boiling water
• Efficiency- no inertial tanks involved
• Cleanness- no wet floors, no wet pipes and no jams at saws
• Economy- low energy consumption

Quick Diameter Change:
Changing from one diameter to another takes less than one hour

Higher Degree of Orientation:
Molecor can produce up to highest classes (class 500)

With higher classes there are maximum raw material savings

Heating Equipment:
There is extremely accurate and homogeneous temperature distribution in the pipe which guarantees the development of orientation due to internal mechanisms and fluid distribution.

Very fast air speed for increasing convection ratio and reducing heating time

Auto regulating parameters

Internal Socket:
Sockets can be produced at the same time the pipe is oriented, maintaining unaffected the orientation degree

Quick Start Stop

Flexibility:
Molecor installation is designed to work in line and also off line. Due to Molecor quick start up, if customer needs to manufacture small batches of certain diameters Molecor installation will work off line

Low Learning Curve:
It is a fully automatic system with recipe system, very easy to work with. Entering the recipe of the pipe to be manufactured, all parameters (pressure, temperature, speed, etc) will be automatically set, avoiding human mistaking.

Molecor PVC-O manufacturing system is very flexible and will easily adapt to customer’s needs. It is a step forward in Molecular Orientation Technology with which our customers will be able to manufacture a cheaper and a better product!

Nowadays Financial Credit is something very valuable worldwide. Molecor is in contact with Spanish credit institutions, which work for getting the best loans conditions in export operations. The CARI Loan is an example of this: Spanish financial authorities give a long term loan, to a fixed rate to the abroad purchaser. This amount is for goods and services on foreign services, and it is 85 % of the total amount of the goods and 100% of the local expenses. The interest Rate is calculated every month by the OCDE (Trade Organization for the Economic Development) -interest rate during April 2009 was 4.30%- and the amortization period goes from 5 to 10 years, depending on the GDP per capita of the country purchasing the technology. India interest rate could go up to 10 years. For more information regarding this issue: http://www.ico.es/web/contenidos/6/0/1073/index.

Conclusion:

Molecular Orientation Technology has the following benefits:

Benefits to Manufacturer of Oriented PVC (PVC-O) Pipes

• For the same external nominal diameter, O-PVC Pipe requires less PVC because the pipe wall is thinner, therefore Raw Material Savings Up to 50 %
• Mechanical Properties Comparable to Steel Pipes
• Integrated Socketing System
• Confirming to International ISO/ASTM Standards

Benefits to Installer of Oriented PVC (PVC-O) Pipes

• Quick, Low-Priced Installation

Benefits to User of Oriented PVC (PVC-O) Pipes

• Reduction in the Pumping Costs
• Excellent for High-Pressure Water Piping
• Most Ecological Solution for Water Transportation
• New Applications like Gas Transportation & Mining Applications
