What Types of Catalysts are Used in Plastic Production?
Several types of catalysts are employed in the production of plastics:
Ziegler-Natta Catalysts: Used for producing polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene. Metallocene Catalysts: Offer greater control over the polymer structure, leading to customized materials. Single-Site Catalysts: Provide precision in polymer design for specific applications. Heterogeneous Catalysts: Used in processes like the production of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
