- Olefin, also known as
polypropylene or polyethylene, is a long-chain polymer synthetic fiber.
It is created when ethylene and/or propylene gases are polymerized under
very specific conditions.
- Olefin was first
manufactured in the late 1950s, and has a myriad of applications in
manufacturing, household products and clothing. Use of olefin has
steadily increased since the 1960s, and continues to gain in popularity
every year as new uses for this easy, durable material are found.
- Olefin is created when
the polymers are melted to a liquid, then run through a machine called a
spinneret, which forces the product into a long fiber through small
holes. This fiber is then used to make the fabric, or the end product in
which it will be used.
- Olefin resists dyeing,
any dye must be added during this melting process, instead of to the
final fabric or product. It is highly favored due to its easy,
inexpensive manufacturing process. Surprisingly, olefin is relatively
environmentally “friendly” due to the few byproducts produced during
manufacturing. Olefin is also easily recycled.
- Ethylene a-olefin
plastomers of about 0.9 density and 1.0 melt index are excellent
materials for designing TPO formulations for single-ply roofing
applications.
- Catalytic
transformation of seed oil via olefin metathesis.
- Application of Olefin
Cross Metathesis in Natural Product Synthesis.
- The most important
applications of olefin metathesis in the field of petrochemicals are the
olefins conversion technology (OCT) process (originally the Phillips
triolefin process) and the Shell higher olefins process (SHOP).
- Olefin is also highly
resistant to deterioration from chemicals and moisture. One of the
drawbacks of olefin is that, because it has a low melting point, it is
flammable and will melt if exposed to high heat.
- Materials made with
olefin holds its shape extremely well, making it good for packing and
active use.
- Toxicity test results
show that olefin and paraffin SBF are non-toxic to the water-dwelling
organisms studied. However, when sediment toxicity tests are considered,
internal olefin and some alpha olefin products have significantly less
toxicity compared to most paraffin materials.
- Olefins are similar to
paraffins but contain at least two fewer hydrogen atoms providing at
least one double bond between adjacent carbon atoms.
- Olefins with one double
bond have the general formula CnH2n.
- Olefins can be produced
from refinery streams or synthesized via ethylene oligomerization.
Refinery olefins are highly branched while synthetic olefins are highly
linear.
- The global olefins
business is enjoying a period of unprecedented high capacity utilization
rates.
- Olefin has been kept
tight by robust demand due to sustained high economic growth rates
(particularly in Asia) , and on the other hand, supply has been affected
on account of delays in several major projects and feedstock
restrictions.
- A strong and resilient
global economy continues to drive demand growth for light
olefins.
