Originating from a clear gap in the market, Rama Maistry started the business with buying and selling of semi finished fluoropolymer items. In 1994, he purchased the companies first Lathe which established the foundation of CIP’s core business.
Drawing on decades of expertise and international endorsements by global fluoropolymer manufacturers DuPont and Polis, he later went on to expand by introducing other divisions – Moulding (1996), Coating (2000) and Lined Pipe (2010).
Experience, innovation, and service have enabled CIP to create a robust portfolio of products and a loyal list of customers across the African continent.
At Chemical Industrial Plastics, we strive to be at the forefront of fluoropolymer technology with over 35 years of industry experience. We enjoy working with our customers to develop new product applications, as well as improve our existing offerings.

Our PTFE products are manufactured according to
ASTM standards
The basic properties of PTFE deliver quantifiable and valued benefits, which originate from the chemical structure of the fluoropolymer. Most of us don’t get to see PTFE but many of the common devices which make our life easier, more comfortable, healthier and also more fun would not exist without PTFE and its exceptional properties.
On April 6, 1938, an accidental discovery was made by Dr. Roy J. Plunkett while working with gases related to refrigerants. After checking a frozen, compressed sample of tetrafluoroethylene, he and his associates made an unexpected discovery. The sample had polymerized spontaneously into a white, waxy solid to form polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
PTFE is inert to virtually all chemicals and considered the most slippery material in existence, making it one of the most valuable, versatile technologies invented. Many industries—aerospace, communications, electronics, industrial processes, and architecture—owe some of their significant advances to PTFE.
Since its registration in 1945, the Teflon™ trademark has become a familiar brand, recognized worldwide for the superior non-stick properties associated with its use as a:
The first Teflon™ products were sold commercially under the trademark starting in 1946. Applications and product innovations quickly followed.
Today, the family of Teflon™ fluoropolymers from Chemours consists of:
Wide Temperature Range Compatibility
Excellent chemical resistance
Excellent insulating properties
Insolubility
Low dynamic coefficient of friction
Excellent non-stick properties
Low dielectric constant/dissipation factor
The cornerstone of our business is excellent customer service, ensuring product consistency and added value to our customers and their organizations.
