Polybutene-1 (PB-1) resins from LyondellBasell are used in customer applications such as easy-open packaging, film modification, hot melt adhesives, polyolefin modification, hot water tanks, and pipe and fittings. They are light weight and have excellent performance characteristics, such as outstanding creep resistance and flexibility over a wide temperature range, low noise transmission, and good heat fusion properties.
PB-1 grades are used in different processing techniques such as extrusion, extrusion blow molding and injection molding. PB-1 resins are available as homo- and random copolymers.
