ABSTRACT Alpha olefins are straight-chain hydrocarbons with double bonds in the alpha position, namely 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene. Alpha olefins production is classified as a basic chemical product because it is used as a raw material for chemical production. Alpha olefins in Indonesia are used as commonomers for the production of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and High Densi…
ABSTRACT C6H12. Hexene-1 is a clear colourless liquid with a petroleum-like odour, soluble in most organic solvents but insoluble in water. Hexene-1 also provides tear resistance and other desirable properties to polyethylene, thus its main use as a comonomer in the production of High Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) and Linear Low Density PolyEthylene (LLDPE). It can also be used as a solvent, p…
ABSTRACT Acrylic Acid is a compound with the molecular formula C3H4O2 which is used in the polyacrylate, hydrocyanicrylate, coating formulations, Superabsorbent Polymers (SAPs), and polymer industries. Acrylic Acid is made using the oxidation process on acrolein produced from the glycerol dehydration reaction. This factory is planned to operate for 330 days per year and work continuously for 2…
ABSTRACT Benzoic acid, also known as benzenecarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C6H5COOH, is a chemical compound commonly used as a preservative in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products.
