Content: Processing Of Plastics
Plastics are obtained from petroleum products called monomers.
These monomers
are used to produce resins which are used to for making plastics.
Types of Plastics
1. Thermoplastics: These are plastics that can melt under heat and
reshaped into other forms.
2. Thermoset: These are plastics that does not easily melt under
heat. They are used as handles for pots and enamel dishes.
Methods of Processing of Plastics
1. Injection Method
2. Extrusion Moulding:
3. Compression Moulding
4. Vacuum Forming
5. Calendaring:
Processing of Rubber
Rubber is an elastic material obtained from the latex of a rubber
trees.
Types of Rubber
(i). Natural rubber: This is the type mentioned above. Latex is a
whitish liquid obtained from a rubber tree, used for processing
elastic materials.
(ii). Synthetic or Artificial rubber: This is the type of rubber
obtained from petroleum products
Processing of Rubber

Processing of rubber takes the same procedure like the processing

of plastics covered above. But before rubber is taken through these
processes, rubber must be treated first. The whitish liquid is first
treated with formic acid and turned into a

coagulate. The coagulate is sieved and transferred into an airtight

coagulating tank until the process is completed. The completed
process is then dried and aired by adding additives. It is this
additives that harden rubber. This hardened rubber is then processed
by injection or compression moulding method.

Activity Differentiation
Average students: define plastics and rubber and state types of
IV: plastics and rubber.
Above average students: defines plastics and rubber, state types of
plastics and rubber. And state the methods of processing plastics
and rubber.

Evaluation 1. Define plastics.

2. Define rubber.
:
3. State the types of plastics and rubber.
4. State at least five methods of processing plastics and rubber

Summary: Processing of rubber takes the same procedure like the processing
of plastics covered above. But before rubber is taken through these
processes, rubber must be treated first.

Assignmen 1. Identify three process involved in the production of plastics,

t: 2. Identify four process involved in the production of rubber

3. Identify three process involved in the production of ceramics.

4. Explain with diagrams the processes involved in the production

of the above mentioned materials.

5. State an advantage and a disadvantage between the injection

moulding method and compression moulding method.

Content: Uses of Metals

a. Aluminium: It is light in weight and does not rust. It can used to

manufacture electrical cables, cooking utensils and aircraft parts.

b. High Carbon Steel: It is often referred to as shear resistant. It is

used for manufacturing cutting tools, pliers, drills, punches and
hammer heads.

c. Mild Steel: Mild steel is soft to work with. It is used for

manufacturing bolts, nuts, structural work, and non-cutting tools.

d. Cast Iron: Cast iron is made from pig iron. It is wear resistant. It
is used for producing piston rings and cylinder blocks.

e. Wrought Iron: This metal can withstand sudden shock. It is used

for making gates, railings, chains, shackles and couplings.

f. Copper: Copper is malleable and can be used for electrical cable,

domestic heating systems, soldering-iron bits and for decoration.

g. Zinc: Zinc is used as a coating for steel and for roofing since it is
resistant to corrosion.

h. Tin: Tin is used in the production of enamel. Enamel is used to

protect metals from corrosion and to protect car bodies

Uses of Ceramics

1. Ceramics is used for manufacturing asbestos roofing sheets.

2. Ceramics is used for manufacturing breakable plates.

3. It is used for making tea-cups and mugs.

4. It is used for making Plaster of Paris (POP) for holding broken

bones in place.

5. Ceramics is used for making water closets and sinks.

6. Ceramics can also be used for manufacturing cement.

7. It is used making oven linings.

8. Ceramics is used for making concrete, blocks, bricks and spark

plug.

9. Ceramics is used also for making electric socket and other

electrical accessories.

10. Ceramics is used for producing wall and floor tiles.

Uses of Glass

etc.
 2. Glass is used for electrical insulator as in glazed types used on
high tensions.

3. Glass is used for windows, doors and mirrors.

4. It can also be used for bottles, lenses, cups, bulbs and fluorescent
tubes.

5. Glass is used for building walls.

Uses of Plastics

housing.

(vii). Plastic is used for electric iron and cooking pot handles.

(viii). Used for containers for liquids, computer housing cases, ball-
point pen casing

Uses of Rubber
