Benzoyl chloride is not used as a catalyst in the manufacture of___________________?
Correct answer: D. Polypropylene
- A. Polystyrene
- B. Polyvinyl acetate
- C. Polyvinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate
- D. Polypropylene
Explanation
Polypropylene is manufactured using coordination catalysts such as Ziegler-Natta or metallocene systems, not benzoyl chloride. Benzoyl-based initiators are associated with free-radical polymerisation of vinyl and styrene monomers.
