Alpha olefins (C4?C8) refer to straight-chain olefins with 4?8 carbon atoms and double bonds located at the -position (1-position) at the end of the molecule. They mainly include 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene, and are one of the most important functional raw materials in the modern polyolefin industry. These compounds are typically produced through ethylene oligomerization and are characterized by regular structures, high purity, and strong reactivity. In polyethylene production, they are mainly used as comonomers of ethylene to regulate the branching structure of the molecular chain, thereby significantly improving the materials density distribution, flexibility, impact resistance, and environmental stress cracking resistance. Short-chain -olefins (C4?C8) are widely used in LLDPE, mLLDPE, HDPE pipe materials, and high-performance films, and are key raw materials for achieving performance differentiation and added value enhancement in high-end polyolefin materials. Global consumption is projected to reach approximately 5.5-6 million tons in 2025, with an average price of approximately US$700?1,100 per ton.
