Light Linear Alpha Olefins Are Produces through Oligomerization of Ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Light linear alpha
olefins are commonly manufactured by two main routes: oligomerization of
ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis followed by purification. They are
manufactured for a variety of reasons. One such reason is to use them as fabric
and other textile applications in clothing manufacture. Various
companies use ethylene trimerization process that produces only 1-hexene. In
the U.S., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LLC, uses this
process. Another commercial process, offered by a technology licensor IFP,
dimerizes ethylene to high purity 1-butene.
There are a wide range
of applications for light linear alpha olefins.
They are predominantly use in production of polyethylene, linear aldehyde,
fatty acids, linear alcohols. Alpha olefins are also used in production of
synthetic lubricant basestock and to make surfactants in a blend with higher
linear alpha olefins.
Another common use of light
linear alpha olefins includes printing and apparel industries, agriculture,
plastics, packaging and cosmetic industry and cosmetics. They are also used as
lubricants and lubrication additives for petroleum products. Another
application of these fibers is in the electronics industry and particularly in
telecommunications.
Light linear alpha
olefins fibers are available in different shapes and sizes. They can be woven
into any thickness, from one inch to four inches. They can be made from
polyethylene, nylon, polypropylene, cotton, silk, rayon, and polyester fibers.
Light linear alpha
olefins fibers are used for a number of applications including floor coverings,
footwear, protective coatings, pumps, connectors, straps, locks, cushions and
many more. They are used in a number of different ways and are suitable for all
kinds of surfaces. The materials that they are most commonly used for are
non-corrosive, antimicrobial, deodorant, fire retardant and anti-tarnish. They
have great dimensional stability, high strength, tensile strength, resistance
to wear, abrasion, chemical corrosion, electrical swelling, friction and heat
treatment.
