What are the names of petrochemical feedstock products?
Glycol ethers, ethylene, poly ethylene, ethylene oxide, ethanol, propylene, iso propyl alcohal, acrylonitrile, polypropylene, propylene oxide.. these are some examples for petrochemical feed stock products.

What is the difference between pp and pe bodyboard?
polypropylene and poly Ethylene PE is polyethylene. This is a plastic that is used in consumer products. It is made from the monomer ethylene (CH2=CH2), so all PEs are chemically similar, but depending on how it is made, it can have differing physical properties. PE is the cheapest of all the synthetic polymers; therefore, whenever it can be used for a specific application, it usually is. PP is polypropylene. It is chemically similar to PE but is made from the monomer propylene (CH3CH=CH2). This can be prepared from fewer reactions than PE, but it is much tougher and stronger than PE, even after molding, because it has more self-crystallizing capacity. A lot of consumer goods are made from PP for this reason
Why are methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol toxic to humans?
Anything that enters your mouth gets broken down into basic products that the body can use for energy - or get rid of. This is called metabolism. Ethanol (alcohol you drink), methanol (same thing as methyl alcohol) (wood alcohol) and ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) are all processed in the same way in the body. Ethylene glycol and methanol when they are processed are broken down into really bad products that are poisonous to the body. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) just gets broken down into products that cause a hangover. If someone has ingested ethylene glycol or methanol, making them drink ethanol would delay the creation of those bad/poisonous products that are created in the body - and they definitely have to go to the hospital to get rid of the ethylene glycol or methanol in a different way then there body processing it and creating those poisonous products.
WHAT IS Ethylene Cracker?
An ethylene cracker is a petrochemical plant. Primarily it takes in a feed of gas hydrocarbons (dry gas, propane, butane) or kerosene (rarer). It then heats it up to about 900degrees to literally "crack" the molecules into smaller ones. After this heating, the product is a mixture of lots of different gases and some liquids. These are then separated (refined) into different products. The primary product is ethylene. Most ethylene crackers have a hydrogenation section. This is a series of reactors which hydrogenate (add hydrogen) any acetylene turning it into ethylene. This increases the ethylene yield.
Is polypropylene safe for dishes?
I will preface this with the fact that I am not a doctor or scientist, however polypropylene is commonly used as a material to make cutting boards (as well as many other products) and is considered to be non toxic, so it should be fine to eat off.
Can you laser cut polypropylene?
Polypropylene is harder, more rigid and more solid when compared to polyethylene. It is one of the most popular materials for products of daily use. The material can be easily cut with the laser, creating smooth cutting edges with highest quality.
What are the reactants and products of plastic?
Plastic polymer is comprises of about 70% of petrochemicals. The main byproducts of plastic polymers are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), PVC, Polystyrene and Polypropylene.
Ethylene glycol and hydrochloric acid mix what do you get or what happens?
This link tells the products are ethylene chlorhydrine (CH2Cl-CH2OH) and dichloroethane (CH2Cl-CH2Cl ): http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=625 CelsoM
What types of products are manufactured by Borealis?
It is common knowledge that Borealis AG is Europe's second largest producer of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) and is headquartered in Vienna, Austria.
Can you autoclave polypropylene?
Polycarbonate products are autoclavable. They must be thoroughly rinsed before autoclaving because detergent residues cause crazing and spotting. Autoclaving cycles should be limited to 20 minutes at 121°C. PC shows some loss of mechanical strength after repeated autoclaving and therefore may not function well under high-stress applications, such as centrifugation.
