LINEALENE (alpha olefin)

LINEALENE is a straight-chain olefin with terminal double bonds, produced by polymerizing ethylene using our proprietary technology. It is available in a wide range of grades, with carbon numbers ranging from 4 to 24, depending on the degree of polymerization.

Features

  • Unique technology (Won the Japan Petroleum Institute Award and the Catalysis Society Technology Award for the world's highest level of high-purity manufacturing technology)

  • High α-olefin purity with a small amount of internal olefins with double bonds moved inside the linear chain

  • Due to its high linear chain rate, it is suitable for producing high-purity and high-performance products.

It is possible to develop applications that take advantage of these features.
