Polyolefin Compound Market: Introduction

Polyolefin compound is a type of synthetic resin, prepared from the polymerization of olefins. Olefins are basically hydrocarbons, they contain hydrogen and carbon and the molecules of hydrocarbon contain a pair of carbon atoms, these carbon atoms are linked together by a double bond. Polyolefin compounds are basically derived from natural gas, low molecular constituents of petroleum, and the most prominent members of polyolefin compounds are propylene and ethylene.

These two compounds, i.e., propylene and ethylene, are basically lower olefins. The lower olefins of polyolefin compounds contain only one pair of carbon atoms and the higher olefins of polyolefin compounds contain two and more pairs of carbon atoms per molecule including the methylpentene and butene (butylene). All polyolefin compounds are employed in the manufacturing of polymers of which the most important and beneficial olefin compounds are polypropylene and polyethylene.

Polyolefin compounds are mostly used in electronic components to protect the connection and in various packaging and food applications. Polyolefin compounds are used as the main ingredient for the purpose of fabrications of self-skinned footwear and in manufacturing products such as cross shoes, armrests, seat cushions, and spa pillows, among others. Polyolefin compounds are a waxy textures in nature and these compounds expand upon heating.

Polyolefin compounds are odorless and nonporous when heated and cooled. Polyolefin compounds are the most preferred products for metallic and non-metallic products due to their lightweight, durability, physical resistance, and chemical attack nature. Polyolefin compounds are widely used in industrial products, consumer goods, structural plastics, and food and packaging products.
