Currently, plastic is a popular material used in most industries, from the production of basic items and household appliances to electronic components and important machinery and equipment. Plastic is divided into two main types based on its origin: “synthetic<\/strong>” and “biological<\/strong>“. Synthetic plastics<\/strong> are derived from crude oil, natural gas or coal. While bioplastics come from renewable products such as carbohydrates, starch, vegetable oils and fats, bacteria and other biological substances. Synthetic<\/strong> plastic is divided into “virgin plastic” and “recycled plastic”. In this article we will learn about production process of virgin plastic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I. Virgin plastic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Virgin plastic or Primary plastic<\/strong> is one of the products produced during the process of fractional distillation of petroleum, through polymerization and condensation reactions to form macromolecular compounds (polymers<\/strong>). After distillation, petroleum will create different products such as: gasoline, diesel oil, lubricant oil, plastic, bitumen, etc<\/strong>. Of which plastic only accounts for about 4% of petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
