Linear alpha olefins refer to a family of unbranched alkenes with double bonds on the first or alpha carbon atom. They are produced through olefin oligomerization and metathesis. Important linear alpha olefins include 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene, which have various industrial uses such as in producing plastics like linear low-density polyethylene. The global market for linear alpha olefins was worth over $8 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to over $11 billion by 2026.

Linear alpha olefins refer to the family of un-branched alkenes that have their
double bonds on the first or Alpha Carbon atom in their Carbon chain. It were
produced through polymerization (oligomerization) and olefin metathesis. In
olefin oligomerization, the compounds are grown by combining lower-
molecular-weight monoolefins, particularly ethylene, which is the simplest
olefin.
•
Linear alpha olefins are a range of industrially important alpha-olefins,
including 1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, and higher olefin blends of C20-C24,
C24-C30, and C20-C30 ranges.
•
Linear alpha olefins such as 1-Hexene and 1-Octene, have a variety of uses in
industry and are usually used as starting materials in the production of plastics
(linear low-density polyethylene). The global demand for alpha olefins has
increased rapidly in the last few years. The Linear alpha olefins market size
was $8,012.20 million in 2018 and is predicted to reach $11,747.8 million
by 2026.
