POLYBUTENE-1

The advantages of PB in pipe applications include flexibility, toughness, and its resistance to creep, environmental stress-cracking, wet abrasion, and chemicals. Properties of natural and grey pipe-grade PB are shall be provided upon the request from clients.

Pipe-Grade PB Resins (Natural and Grey)

The most important commercial outlet for is in pipe with applications that include cold-water service; and cold and hot water plumbing. Other applications are in well piping, fire-sprinkler piping, specially hosing, and ground-coupled heat pumps. Large-diameter pipe is used to transport abraisive or corrosive materials at high temperature in mining, chemical, and power-generation industries. PB is also used in -easy opening film, food and meat packaging, compression and pipe wraps, hot fill containers and industrial sheeting. PB resins are injection molded into sheet for abrasion-resistant lining application.

Polybutene-1 refers to a series of commercial semicrystalline resins derived from high molecular-weight, predominantly isotactic poly(1-butene) homopolymer or copolymer. Polybutene-1 can be represented by the formular [CH2CH{C2H5}]n, where n is the degree of polymerization. We are manufacturing highly isotactic and semi crystalline polybutene-1 exploiting exclusive technology of chemical reaction. Polybutene-1 shows excellent resistance to creep and environmental stress-cracking, which makes polybutene-1 a perfect material for pipes, tubes, tanks, joints and fittings. Polybutene-1 resins retain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Upper and lower recommended use temperatures are ca 110^oC and -20^oC, respectively. Polybutene-1 accepts relatively high filler loadings without significant embrittlement; moisture barrier and electrical properties are good.

Combined with PP and PE, making PP more flexible, improve high temperature strength, resistances to shock, PE film easy to open.
