Polypropylene is an industrial synthetic polymer that is obtained mainly by oil refining or natural gas processing. It is obtained as a byproduct which is a colourless gas and has a light petroleum-like Odor. Various monomers of C3H6 atoms undergo polymerization to form a linear structure of hydrocarbons arranged in chain-like order. Its melting point…
Linear Low-Density Polyethylene is a variety of thermoplastic polymer that is obtained by copolymerizing ethylene along with but-1-ene, 1-octene, and 1-hexene. It has low shear sensitivity and a unique melt flow property, making it stand out in the list of other commercial polymers in the global market. It resists chemicals, such as alcohols, acids, and…
Polyhydroxy Butyrate is a biodegradable synthetic material that is one of the best alternatives for commercial plastic products. It is a biocompatible polymer compound that belongs to the polyester group. This natural polymer is synthesized naturally by specific prokaryotic organisms that are under balanced nutrition conditions. PHB is insoluble in water and shows resistance to…
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) or ((C10H8O4) n) is a variety of synthetic polymer that is commercially obtained from the polycondensation reaction of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The melting and boiling points of PET are measured at around 250° C and 350° C, respectively. The material has high dimensional stability and low gas permeability with a…
Polyethylene ((C₂H₄)ₙ) is regarded as the most used plastic variety in the commercial market, a thermoplastic with a linear structure. It is known to be an addition polymer and shows simple linking of monomers. Ethylene is polymerized in Titanium (III) Chloride to produce Polyethylene. The melting and boiling point measures roughly 92° C and 110°…

Phenol belongs to any of a family of organic compounds that are categorized by a hydroxyl or – OH group connected to a carbon atom which is part of an aromatic ring. Apart from aiding as the general name for the complete family, the name phenol is also a definite term for its simplest member,…
In the first quarter of 2023, the prices of Ethyl vinyl alcohol copolymer in Asia, Europe, and North America experienced significant fluctuations. Asia saw a jump in prices due to low inventories and reduced production rates, while Europe experienced a steep incline driven by limited imports and supply chain disruptions. North America witnessed an unusual…
PET coke, also referred to as petroleum coke, is a carbon-rich solid substance generated from oil refining. It is created as a byproduct of the oil refining process when heavy crude oil is subjected to high temperatures in a process known as cracking. It is mostly made of carbon, with trace amounts of sulphur, nitrogen,…
