Allplastics Engineering manufactures a range of Clear Polycarbonate tubular devices that are utilized by a variety of environmental monitoring agencies and scientific researchers to regularly take samples from dams, lakes, rivers, reservoirs and oceans for assessment of water quality levels.
Polycarbonate is a clear and virtually unbreakable material. It is available in a wide range of diameters from 6.3mm Outer Diameter to 127mm Outer diameter. The tubes are generally available in 3 Meter lengths. Since most water samples need to be taken from depths of more than 3 meters Allplastics provides a threaded adaptor to join two lengths for taking samples from a variety of depths.

Andre Fernandes spent a few weeks completing a huge puzzle measuring 5700mm x 1500 featuring dozens of animals. On completion of the puzzle he wanted to protect the fruits of his labour by a clear overlay.

Standard acrylic or standard polycarbonate sheets are not available in larger sheets than 3000 x 2000. Allplastics recommended an alternative of clear, unbreakable polycarbonate cut from a spool 2540mm Wide x 5700mm which allowed Andre to cover the artwork. "The result looks terrific" commented Andre "the advice offered by Allplastics allows me to invite friends and family to walk around the big puzzle without disrupting any pieces".

Polycarbonate is available in clear or opal spools which can be used for a number of applications where continuous lengths without visible joints are required.

 Allplastics supplies and assists High school students with a variety of materials and services for their major HSC artworks in design and technology projects.

Melanie Altit approached Allplastics with a requirement for black acrylic panels and advice for gluing.

"The brief I created was to design and construct a storage unit for make-up artist and hairdressers to neatly and effectively store and easily transport beauty products" said Mel.
