Naphtha

Naphtha is a significant by-product produced during the refining process of crude oil. This versatile raw material is of great importance to various industries, particularly the plastics industry, where it serves as an essential starting material.

Through a process called cracking, naphtha is further processed to obtain the monomer ethylene. Ethylene is a fundamental molecule used as a building block for the production of a wide range of plastics. These processes play an essential role in the manufacture of everyday products, from packaging materials to engineering plastics used in various industries.
