Polypropylene is a plastic — one specific thermoplastic in the polyolefin family, not an alternative to plastic the way the question often gets asked. “Plastic” is the parent category that also covers polyethylene (PE), PVC, PET, and polystyrene (PS). So…
2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHA, CAS No. 149-57-5) is one of the most important branched-chain carboxylic acids in the specialty chemical industry, used to produce metal carboxylates, coating driers, synthetic lubricant esters, PVC stabilizers, hydroprocessing catalyst precursors, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Global supply…
Both polyethylene and polypropylene land in your warehouse as off-white pellets with a density near 0.91 and a single MFI on the COA. The pellets tell you almost nothing about which one belongs in your part. A converter choosing between…
2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHA, CAS No. 149-57-5) is one of the most widely used branched-chain carboxylic acids in the chemical industry. It serves as an essential raw material for manufacturing metal carboxylates, lubricant additives, coating driers, PVC stabilizers, catalyst precursors, and…
Introduction 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHA, CAS No. 149-57-5) is an important industrial carboxylic acid widely used in metal carboxylates, coating driers, lubricant esters, PVC stabilizers, catalysts, and specialty chemicals. As demand for high-performance additives continues to grow, efficient and sustainable manufacturing…
Copolymer polypropylene resists dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature, and DMF does not dissolve it under any ordinary condition. Every chemical-resistance chart converges on the same cell: PP rates “resistant” to DMF at 20 °C, with negligible absorption on a one-month…
BASTONE is proud to announce the successful conclusion of our participation in Rosplast 2026, one of the leading international exhibitions for the plastics industry, held in Moscow, Russia. The event brought together industry professionals, manufacturers, and suppliers from around the…
Introduction 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid (2-EHA), CAS No. 149-57-5, is an important branched-chain carboxylic acid widely used in the chemical industry as a key intermediate for producing metal salts, lubricants, coatings, catalysts, plastic additives, and specialty chemicals. 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid has application including…
Order a “block copolymer of ethylene and propylene” and the datasheet describes an opaque, tough resin — not the clear, sequential di-block the name suggests. The phrase is a commercial naming convention, not a description of the chain. What you…
Acetal copolymer (POM-C) and polypropylene (PP) both list a maximum service temperature near 100 °C. Yet under a 1.8 MPa load, POM-C holds its shape to about 110 °C while PP softens at roughly 55 °C — half the number.…
