What are Biaxially Oriented (BO) Films?

BO Films are polymer films stretched in both machine and transverse directions during production, enhancing tensile strength, clarity, barrier properties, and dimensional stability

Types of Biaxially Oriented Films

(2/n) Image
Flexible packaging BO films are produced by melting and extruding polymers, then stretching the film biaxially for enhanced properties

Multiple layers can be coextruded for combined benefits. Film is cooled, treated for printability, and cut into rolls for packaging use

Was looking at Apcotex Industries which I think is the only domestic producer of nitrile & high styrene rubber and 70% demand is met through imports

The company deals in synthetic rubber and synthetic latex

Here's a short 🧵with lots of charts and data on industry

(1/n) Image
a) Synthetic rubber is man-made elastic material used in tires, seals, and industrial goods

b) Synthetic latex is liquid emulsion used in coatings, adhesives, and gloves

Both belong to polymer family, specifically elastomers

(2/n) Image
Are Synthetic Rubber and Synthetic Latex the same ? No,

# Same raw materials? → Yes (often)

# Same process? → No, latex is made via emulsion polymerization, rubber is processed into solids

# Main difference? → Form (liquid vs solid) and end-use

After recent fall, certain Sugar stocks are looking interesting

Decided to look at Sugar industry in India in detail

Here's a short🧵

Did You Know?

In India, sugar mills cannot grow their own sugarcane. They rely entirely on farmers for sourcing sugarcane

(1/n) Image
Sugar is a carbohydrate that provides energy and is naturally found in plants like sugarcane, sugar beets, fruits, and dairy

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O)

(2/n) Image
Sugar Manufacturing Process:

# Harvesting
# Transportation to Sugar Mills
# Crushing
# Clarification
# Evaporation
# Crystallization
# Centrifugation
# Drying and Packaging

In short, crushing the sugarcane, removing impurities & water, and forming crystals

Did you know Tyres in 2W-4Ws have wires inside them?

Was recently looking at Rajratan Global wire which makes such bead wires used in Tyres

Stock is down from peak of 1,300 to 300 now

Bead wires improve rim grip, air retention and durability

Here's a🧵on Bead wires

(1/n) Image
What is Tyre Bead Wire?

Tyre Bead wire is steel wire made of high-carbon steel whose surface is plated with brass or bronze

Main function of bead wire is to hold tyre on the rim and to resist the action of the inflated pressure, which constantly tries to force it off

(2/n) Image
Bead wire is the crucial link through which vehicle load is transferred from rim to the tyre, which prevents vibration during driving

It significantly affects the safety, strength and the durability of tyres

Tyre bead wire is used in all kinds of automobile tyres
