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.

Isoprene

by Glycos Biotechnologies

Isoprene. GlycosBio’s Bio-SIM™ (biologically produced synthetic isoprene monomer) technology provides high-yields of isoprene from low-cost feedstocks such as crude glycerol that are available globally and are sustainable on a large scale. It is produced using proprietary microbial catalysts in a highly scalable fermentation process that leverages a low cost of raw materials and conventional process technology. Used in the production of synthetic rubber.

NEODENE® 15181O

by Shell

NEODENE® 15181O by Shell is made by the shell higher olefins process (SHOP) by the oligomerization of olefins. NEODENE® 15181O is also known as SHOP C15-C18 internal olefin.

NEODENE® 8

by Shell

NEODENE® 8 by Shell is high purity 1-ocetene made by the shell higher olefin process (SHOP) by the oligomerization of ethylene. NEODENE® 8 is used as a comonomer for the polymerization processes to make linear low-density polyethylene.
