Crude Oil Refining: Crude oil extracted from natural reserves is processed in advanced oil refineries. This process separates various petroleum products like petrol, diesel, and kerosene, and also yields naphtha—a light hydrocarbon mixture essential for plastic production.
Steam Cracking: The naphtha is then heated and cracked in high-temperature steam crackers, breaking it down into smaller molecules such as ethylene and propylene—the essential building blocks for plastics.
Polymerization: Through polymerization, ethylene and propylene molecules are combined to form polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)—two versatile polymers widely used in the plastics industry.
Granule Production: These polymers are melted, filtered for impurities, cooled, and cut into small, uniform granules known as virgin plastic granules. They are renowned for their consistent melting point, high strength, and excellent processability, ensuring a smooth and defect-free molding process.
Packaging and Transportation: Finally, these granules are packed in 25–50 kg bags and distributed to plastic product manufacturers, including Patiala Plastic, who use them in their molding processes.
