ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/198-K.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>HDPE</b>. HDPE (a.k.a. High Density Polyethylene) is one of the three main types of polyethylene, figuring among the most used polymers worldwide. It is the most widely used polyethylene resin. HDPE may be either ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and alpha-olefins (1-hexene, 1-butene). Polyethylene is considered to be high density when having density greater than 0.94 g/cm³. Despite having density only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), HDPE presents larger strength-to-density ratio, due to its little branching and consequent stronger intermolecular forces. The high demand for polyethylene is in large part due to a combination of the availability of ethylene raw material, its relatively low cost and a wide variety of applications.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethylene</b>. Ethylene is known as a key building block for the petrochemical industry, being one of the largest-volume petrochemical produced worldwide. It is widely used as chemical intermediate in the production of several end products, including plastics, resins and fibers. Ethylene is largely produced by thermal cracking of petroleum-based feedstocks, in the presence of steam. It is stored in a liquid state under high pressure or at low temperatures. However, ethylene is, most of times, directly supplied to its consumers.</p> <b>Butenes</b>. Butene is a versatile olefin used primarily as a comonomer in the production of polyethylene and in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber. It is essential in enhancing the flexibility and toughness of plastic products, such as film and packaging materials. Butene is typically obtained from the refining of crude oil or the cracking of hydrocarbons. It is stored as a gas under pressure and can be transported via pipelines or as liquefied gas in specialized containers.</p>
