Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum through refining. Two main classes are olefins (ethylene, propylene) and aromatics (benzene, toluene). Olefins are produced by fluid catalytic cracking of petroleum fractions. Aromatics are produced through catalytic reforming of naphtha
Designed for high-speed production of fine filament titres. Features narrow molecular weight distribution. Compatible with all spun bond machine technologies. Contains anti-gas fading formulation to minimize discolouration
Heterophasic copolymer with effective heat stabilization package. Shows good fluidity, impact resistance, stiffness and low warpage. Suitable for food contact but not medical applications. Available in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia/NZ, Africa-Middle East and Latin America
Polypropylene has excellent strength, low surface energy and gas permeability. Orientation breaks up spherulitic structure for transparent films. Can be used in single layer or multilayer films via coextrusion. Syndiotactic PP has lower crystallinity and higher clarity than isotactic PP
Density ranges from 54.6 to 56.6 lbs/ft³. Melting point is 13-32°F. Specific heat is 55-65°C. Thermal conductivity is 0.17-0.22 W/m°K
Developed by JSP in 1970s, first used in automotive products in 1982. Made through molding process of expanding and fusing polypropylene beads. Available in various colors, typically white, gray, or black
