Naphtha is produced from crude oil." Naphtha" is another term for raw gasoline. When naphtha is heated to high temperatures (cracking), ethylene is released.
The ethylene is delivered in a gaseous state, is then converted to polyethylene which resembles a pressed through a perforated plate and the hardening polyethylene strand is cut into small pieces.
This is the starting material for the processing industry.
