What is Alpha Olefin?
The upsurge in demand with the growth in production of polyalphaolefin and polyethylene will help to boost global alpha olefin market. Alpha olefins are organic compounds including alkenes or olefins, which are usually manufactured by the oligomerization of ethylene. These compounds offer a range of industrially significant products including 1-decene, 1-octene, 1-hexene, and 1-butene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene & 1-octadecene. It is used in a wide range of chemical applications including polyethylene, synthetic lubricants and detergent alcohols. Additionally, it is used in the synthetic fatty acids, tanning oils, oxo alcohols, epoxides, alkylated aromatics, and alpha-olefins sulfonates.
The market study is broken down by Type (1-Butene, 1-Hexene, 1-Octene and Others), by Application (Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Valeraldehyde, Plasticizers, Lubricants and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
