In order to meet all of these requirements, water-bottle manufacturers frequently use polyethylene as a starting material for its durability, ease of processing, and safety for use with food. Its 38% share of the global market makes it one of the most commonly used plastics for producing packaging such as plastic bags, plastic films, geomembranes, and containers including bottles, etc.
An important raw material for making polyethylene is Butene-1. In the production of high-quality polymers, such as polyethylene, Butene-1 is used mainly as a co-monomer. It gives polyethylene several beneficial properties, such as improved tear strength for packaging films.
