- Polyolefins are the
largest group of thermoplastics, the two most important and common types
of polyolefins are polyethylene and polypropylene.
- A polyolefin is a
polymer produced from a simple olefin as a monomer. For example,
polyethylene is the polyolefin produced by polymerizing the olefin
ethylene. An equivalent term is polyalkene; this is a more modern term,
although polyolefin is still used in the petrochemical industry.
Polypropylene is another common polyolefin.
- Polyolefin elastomers
are copolymers of ethylene and another alpha-olefin such as butene or
octene. Polyolefin elastomers are a relatively new class of
polymers that emerged with recent advances in metallocene polymerisation
catalysts. Representing one of the fastest growing synthetic polymers,
POE’s can be substituted for a number of generic polymers including
ethylene propylene rubbers , ethylene vinyl acetate , styrene-block
copolymers , and poly vinyl chloride.
- The technological
progress in the manufacture of value-added polyolefins has yielded
resins with highly specific physical and performance properties. These
materials are designed to meet demanding end-use requirements and are
prepared using tailored catalysts in modified or upgraded process
technologies.
- Polyolefins are ideally
suited to a wide variety of applications such as food and drinks
packaging, medical end-uses, domestic appliances, agricultural films,
industrial piping, electrical cables and vehicle parts; in each
application demanding different performance qualities.
- General
polyolefin fiber characteristics are able to give good bulk and cover,
abrasion resistant, colorfast, quick drying, low static, resistant to
deterioration from chemicals, mildew, perspiration, rot and weather
conditions, thermally bondable, stain and soil resistant, Strong, dry
hand; it transport body moisture from the skin, Very Comfortable, very
lightweight
- Polyolefin elastomers
are being adopted in a variety of applications and markets resulting in
global demand approaching 200 metric tons since their inception in the
early 1990s.
- The market for
polyolefin foams in automotive interiors has grown from less than 5% in
1995 to more than 40% in 2002. Of this, a majority of the development
has been with polypropylene in the area of extruded foams and with
energy-management bead foams. The success of polyolefin bead foam rests
in its ability to offer a unique combination of softness, resiliency,
ability to be shape-molded, ability to manage energy, excellent
strength-to-weight ratio, low cost, and low mass.
- The polyolefin industry
is changing continuously. This development is motivated by the need to
further improvement, and thus, to enhance the value of the products that
can be produced.
- The leading share of
polyolefins – polypropylene and polyethylene - in the total
European textiles market is still increasing. In 2006, they accounted
for 43% of all man-made materials used for textiles.
- The largest end-use
market is technical textiles, consuming 950.000 tonnes of polyolefins,
in articles such as agrotextiles, geotextiles, strapping, packaging,
construction and a wide range of other technical applications. Carpet
markets, the second largest end-use, recovered in 2006, with PP usage
rising by 1% to 635.000 tonnes.
- The European polyolefin
markets can be segmented into three groups according to their growth
potential: the saturated Western European markets, the stable CE
domestic markets and the Eastern European markets with intensive growth
potential. In comparison with Western European markets, the usage of
polyolefin per year in Eastern Europe is about two times smaller in more
developed areas and five times smaller in less developed areas.
