Olefins / Unsaturated Monomers

Based on 20 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Unsaturated olefins in plastics are versatile monomers used to create a wide range of polymer materials. These olefins typically appear as clear or slightly colored liquids. Key features include their ability to form strong, durable polymers with excellent chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. They are suitable for applications in packaging, automotive parts, and construction materials. 

Alternatives to unsaturated olefins include saturated olefins and other types of monomers. Sub-types of unsaturated olefins include ethylene, propylene, and butadiene.

Norbornene

by Topas Advanced Polymers (Polyplastics)

Bicyclo-[2.2.1] heptane (Synonyms: 2-Norbornylene, 2-Norbornene and Norcamphene). It is made by the Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and ethylene, two readily available hydrocarbons. The resulting molecule, a bicyclic olefin, is a bridged six-membered ring with a double bond on one side. The bridged ring puts extra strain on the double bond, making it highly reactive and useful in organic chemical synthesis. Reactions include ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), radical or cationic polymerization, and vinyl or addition polymerization. Norbornene is a liquid with low viscosity above 47 °C. Solid norbornene has a high solubility in common organic solvents as for example in acetone and in aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic solvents. Used in high-damping rubber and in the manufacture of COC polymers. 2-Norbornene is listed in the following international chemical inventories: EINECS Number 207-866-0, SWISS Number G-4815, TSCA, NDSL, AICS, ENCS Number 4-1763 (MITI) and PICCS.
