Description

Abbreviation: PB

Polybutene (PB) is a synthetic polymer belonging to the family of polyolefins, similar to polyethylene and polypropylene. It is produced through the polymerization of butene, a type of olefin hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms. Polybutene is a type of polyolefin that is less common compared to polyethylene and polypropylene but has its unique set of properties that make it suitable for specific applications.
