Did you know?

1-butene fills an important role in the production of materials such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The co-polymerisation of ethylene and 1-butene produces a form of polyethylene that is more flexible and more resilient. 1-butene can also help to create a more versatile range of polypropylene resins.
