The global polypropylene compounds market revenue was around US$ 17.2 billion in 2022, and the polypropylene compounds industry is estimated to reach US$ 29.7 billion by 2031, growing at a compound ...

IOCL has recently implemented a trial-based import duty exemption for propene and LPG in the Moby market. This move is ...

At the University of California, Berkeley, a new chemical process claims to 'essentially vaporize' polyethylene, ...

Two years ago, Hartwig and his UC Berkeley team came up with a process for breaking down polyethylene plastic bags into the monomer propylene -- also called propene -- that could then be reused to ...

The catalytic process efficiently breaks down polymers into chemical precursors, advancing the development of a circular ...

Plastic bags, bottles, and containers may soon get a second life, thanks to a new chemical process developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley. This innovation not only breaks ...

The process works similarly for polypropylene but produces propene and isobutylene. By the end of this chemical transformation process, both plastics are about 90% gas. Kept within a chamber to ...

The same reaction occurs with polypropylene to form a combination of propene and a hydrocarbon called isobutylene. Isobutylene is used in the chemical industry to make polymers for products ranging ...

The resulting output is propylene and propene molecules. Another byproduct is valuable isobutylene gas. All three are used in the chemical industry to make different plastics. For instance ...

The catalysts chop up the polymers and combine them with ethene to produce propene and isobutene, which can be used to make new plastics. Although the lab-based process still faces many hurdles ...
