The construction industry uses plastic for many applications because of its versatility, strength-to-weight ratio, durability, corrosion resistance, and so on.

Plastic can be manufactured into forms such as; pipes, cables, coverings, panels, films, sheets, and so on; and can be formed or expanded to create low-density materials; and be dissolved in solvents or dispersed as emulsions.

Some of the main types of plastic that are used in construction include:

  • Acrylic.
  • Composites.
  • Expanded polystyrene.
  • ETFE.
  • Polycarbonate.
  • Polyethylene.
  • Polypropylene.
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • PTFE.

Some of these plastics’ main uses in the construction industry are:

  • Cladding panels.
  • Cables.
  • Pipes and gutters.
  • Windows and doors.
  • Shuttering
  • Wall linings
  • Floor covering
  • Ceiling panels.
  • Roof coverings.
  • Sinks, basins, baths, and showers.
  • Worktops
  • Insulation materials.
  • Membranes.

The advantages of using plastic in construction are that it is lightweight yet strong which makes it easier to transport and shift around sites. It is also resistant to rot and corrosion and has strong weather ability because it can achieve tight seals. Plastic can also be flexible, and is easily extruded, bent, molded, 3D printed, and so on. Plastic can also be easily removed and some plastics can be recycled.

The disadvantages of plastic are that it has a high embodied energy content and a low modulus of elasticity, meaning that it is generally unsuitable for load-bearing applications. Unless treated, most plastics are also ignitable and have a high thermal expansion rate, requiring detailing to allow for adequate thermal movement.

There are environmental concerns about some plastics because of difficulties recycling them, their persistence in the environment after disposal, and concerns regarding chemical additives used to make plastics flexible, resistant to fire, and adhesive.

InCoTerms 2020 https://habtah.com/blog/2021/03/09/incoterms-2020/ https://habtah.com/blog/2021/03/09/incoterms-2020/#respond Tue, 09 Mar 2021 07:38:29 +0000 http://habtah.com/?p=31608 EXW – Ex Works Under the EXW term, the seller is responsible for making the goods available at its premises.

Incoterms

EXW – Ex Works

Under the EXW term, the seller is responsible for making the goods available at its premises. The parties can also agree on another named place such as factory, office or warehouse. At this point, the buyer gains ownership of the goods. Then, he handles all costs and risk after the products are collected.

EXW is most favourable to the seller. He has no obligation to load the goods or to cover freight costs once the goods have left the premises. This term can cause complications for the buyer if products are for export.

FCA – Free Carrier

With FCA, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the buyer’s nominated premises. He needs to load the stocks onto the buyer’s transportation. Then, the seller organises the shipping, including export clearance and meeting security requirements.

The risk is transferred once the goods are loaded onto the buyer’s transportation. Thus, any damage to the products when on board the vessel is the responsibility of the buyer.

The buyer pays the cost of freight, bill of lading fees and insurance. Also, he pays for unloading and transportation costs to the final destination.

FCA is the term that has been most significantly changed under the Incoterms 2020 rules. Previously, the use of a transport intermediary meant the seller was unable to obtain a bill of lading with onboard notation. The reason was that he did not present the goods directly to the international shipper. Without the BL, the transacting bank would not authorise payment to the seller. Under the new Incoterms 2020, FCA resolves this problem. The buyer should instruct the carrier to issue a bill of lading with the onboard notation to the seller. The parties specify this notation on the sale contract.

CPT – Carriage Paid To

CPT goes beyond FCA by specifying that the seller bears the costs of transportation to the buyer’s place of destination. The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller.

At the defined place of shipment is where the risk is transferred to the buyer. The seller is responsible for the transportation costs associated with delivering goods. However, he is not responsible for procuring insurance.

If the buyer requires the seller to obtain insurance, the parties should consider the Incoterm CIP instead.

CIP – Carriage and Insurance Paid To

CIP is broadly similar to CPT. However, the seller is required to insure the goods in transit and to pay the transportation itself.

The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them to the carrier or another person stipulated by the seller. The seller is responsible for the transportation costs of the items to the designated place of destination.

The risk is transferred to the buyer at the defined place of shipment.

In one of the most significant changes under Incoterms 2020, CIP requires the seller to purchase a higher level of insurance. This level of coverage is appropriate for containerised goods: 110% of the contract value under Institute Cargo Clauses (A) of the Institute of London Underwriters. Previously the minimum insurance was applicable under Institute Cargo Clauses (C).

DPU – Delivered at Place Unloaded

It was previously known as Delivered at Terminal (DAT). It has been renamed because the buyer (or seller) may want to specify the delivery location rather than the terminal. This term is often used for consolidated containers with multiple consignees. It is the only term that tasks the seller with unloading the goods.

The seller covers all the costs of transportation (export fees and carriage). Also, at the destination port, the seller pays the unloading from the carrier and the port charges. He assumes all risks until arrival at the destination port or terminal.

The buyer is responsible for all costs and risks after unloading. It includes import duties, taxes and customs clearance. Also, the buyer pays local transportation to the final named place of destination.

If the seller is not able to organise unloading, he should consider shipping under DAP terms instead.

DAP – Delivered At Place

The seller delivers the goods to a named place of destination but is not responsible for unloading. His responsibilities include packing, export clearance, carriage expenses and any terminal costs up to the agreed destination port.

DAP means the buyer is responsible for all costs, duties and taxes associated with unloading the goods. He is also responsible for clearing customs to import the products into the named country of destination.

The risk is transferred to the buyer at the final designated place of destination.

DDP – Delivered Duty Paid

DDP means the seller bears all risks and costs associated with clearing and delivering the goods to the designated place.

The seller is liable for clearing the goods through customs in the buyer’s country. It includes payment of both duties and taxes. Furthermore, he needs to obtain the necessary authorisations and registrations from the authorities. However, the seller is not responsible for unloading.

This term places the maximum obligations on the seller and minimum obligations on the buyer. The buyer bears no risk or responsibility until the goods are at the final agreed place.

Unless the seller has a profound understanding of the rules and regulations in the buyer’s country, DDP terms can be a considerable risk both in terms of delays and in unforeseen extra costs. Hence, DDP should be used with caution.

FAS – Free Alongside Ship

The seller delivers the goods alongside the buyer’s vessel at the named port of shipment. It means that the buyer bears all costs and risks of loss or damage from that moment.

The FAS term requires the seller to clear the goods for export (under previous Incoterms, the buyer arranged export clearance).

FOB – Free On Board

Under FOB terms, the seller bears costs and risks until the goods are loaded on board of the designated vessel.

The seller’s responsibility includes arranging export clearance. At the same time, the buyer pays the cost of marine freight, bill of lading fees and insurance. He is also responsible for unloading and local transportation costs from the port of arrival to the final destination.

Any damage to the goods when on board the vessel is the responsibility of the buyer.

Since Incoterm FCA was introduced in 1980, FOB should be used only for non-containerised sea freight and inland waterway transport.

However, FOB continues to be the most commonly – and incorrectly – term used for all modes of transportation. Despite the contractual risk that can result (which include the difficulty of checking goods if they are enclosed in a container).

CFR – Cost and Freight

CFR incurs more significant risk and responsibility for the seller who pays for the carriage of the goods up to the named port of destination.

The risk is transferred to the buyer at the country of export. Specifically, when the goods have been loaded on board the ship.

The shipper pays for export clearance and freight costs to the selected port. Furthermore, he is responsible for any damage to the goods on board the ship until the port of final destination.

The buyer pays for local delivery from the port to the final destination and is responsible for purchasing insurance. If the buyer requires the seller to obtain insurance, the parties should consider the Incoterm CIF instead.

CFR should only be used for non-containerised sea freight and inland waterway transport. For all other modes of transportation – and for containerised goods – it should be replaced with CPT, as specified in a critical change in Incoterms 2020.

CIF – Cost, Insurance & Freight

The seller clears the goods for export and delivers them when they are on board at the port of shipment. The seller bears the cost of freight and insurance to the designated port of destination. Also, he is responsible for any damage to the goods on board the ship.

The seller needs to purchase the minimum level of insurance under Clause C of the Institute Cargo Clauses. (This requirement is unchanged from Incoterms 2010.)

At the port of arrival, the seller must turn over three key documents – invoice, insurance policy and bill of lading. Those documents represent the cost, insurance and freight of CIF.

This Incoterm is similar to CFR. However, the seller needs to obtain insurance while the goods are in transit.

PTFE or Polytetrafluoroethylene is a versatile material with several applications. The key components of PTFE are fluorine and carbon. A popular variation of PTFE material is known as Teflon. Among industrial applications, PTFE is used for making PTFE envelope gasketsPTFE packings and it is also utilised by PTFE sheet manufacturers.

A PTFE sheet serves as a high-quality performance engineering plastic. It comes with an exceptional ability to resist gases, water, fuels, chemicals, and oil. It has the capability to operate efficiently at extremely high and low temperatures. In addition, PTFE sheets offer excellent electrical insulating benefits as well as a really low coefficient of friction. It is regularly utilized in food contact applications as well.

Some of the valuable industrial applications of PTFE Sheets are as follows:

Industrial Plants

PTFE’s resistance to water and other water-based substances makes it easier for use in industrial plants dealing with such materials. PTFE envelope gasket and PTFE packing prevent contamination and leakage of the substances that are being managed at industrial plants.

Also, PTFE material makes it easier for fluids to flow easily in the piping industry.

Medical Laboratories

PTFE is non-reactive and anti-corrosive in nature. This feature of PTFE makes it an ideal material to be used in pipes and containers for laboratories where chemicals with an extremely corrosive nature are handled.

Construction

PTFE’s resistance to environmental changes makes it a suitable material in the construction industry. PTFE sheet manufacturers also use it to make envelope gaskets because of its strength and heat resistance. It is also used as a thread seal tape for plumbing.

For architectural purposes, PTFE sheets are used because of their low frictional quality which can extend the life of the construction. This, in turn, reduces the costs of manufacturing and construction.

Food Industry

The dairy and beverage industries benefit from PTFE packing and PTFE envelope gaskets too. PTFE is popular in the food industry as it does not contaminate the liquids which flow through it.

Highly reactive substances

PTFE sheets are used for lining the acid tanks because they are highly resistant to acids. The high resistance feature makes PTFE sheet manufacturers sought after by producers of acid tanks and other allied products for aggressive liquids and substances.

Electrical Industry

The electrical industry also has used PTFE sheets because they are considered excellent for insulation. This feature enables electrical industry professionals to utilize PTFE for the insulation of connector assemblies and cables. Electrical products made using PTFE material can be coaxial cable, hookup wire, and printed circuit boards.

Lubricant for various applications

PTFE doubles as effective lubrication for machinery. Whenever utilized in this manner, PTFE lessens energy usage, reduces friction, and leads to minimum equipment wear. For example, PTFE acts as a lubricant for bicycle chains.

PTFE packing and PTFE envelope gaskets have the attribute of simple application and reduced maintenance cost. PTFE withstands attacks from aggressive chemicals ensuring operational safety. Greater electrical performance is an additional advantage of PTFE molded components. PTFE also cuts down on the possibility of media contamination at industrial plants.

Finally, PTFE sheet manufacturers play a vital role in industrial applications by supplying a highly durable material to manage operational challenges and ensure industrial safety.
