Mechanical properties such as Compressive strength and Shear strength of High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) and Poly Propylene (PP) Polymer Blends have been studied by new developed punch technique, Small Punch Technique. The material properties of these blends have been studied by employing small volumes of material. The advantage of this technique is to obtain the material properties of components in service and assess the residual life of the component. This Small Punch Technique is an useful tool in assessing structural component integrity in the nuclear industries. Commodity plastics such as HDPE and PP materials are selected in these studies as their distinct properties such as hinge property, corrosion resistant, wear resistant and ease of fabrication. In order to check the competence of the developed punch dye, the mechanical properties such as Compression strength and Shear strength are tested for the injection moulded products of HDPE / PP blends and the specimens are prepared according to the standard ASTM D 732. The results are compared with existing dye punch in UTM and fabricated dye punch.
