Braskem America PIB 4
Braskem America PIB 4 is a non-toxic polymer derived from the polymerization of an isobutene-rich stream using specific catalysts. It mainly consists of aliphatic mono-olefins, resulting in a clear and bright product free from sediments or suspended matter. With NSF certification, PIB 4 is suitable for use in lubricants and synthetic oils, including those for food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade applications. Additionally, it serves as an emollient agent in cosmetics and acts as a plasticizer for thermoplastic resins like PE, PP, PVC, and others.
