Olefins / Unsaturated Monomers

Olefin unsaturated monomers appear as clear liquids or gases with excellent reactivity and versatility in polymerization systems. Key features include excellent durability and chemical resistance, outstanding moisture resistance, good thermal stability, and excellent electrical properties. Olefin monomers are used in packaging adhesives, wire and cable bonding, and exterior assembly applications. 

Sub-types include ethylene, propylene, and higher alpha-olefins. Recent developments focus on catalytic systems enabling precise stereocontrol and branching, allowing fine-tuned performance properties while supporting sustainability initiatives through improved process efficiency in the production of these fundamental building blocks for moisture-resistant adhesive systems.
