OLEFINS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Olefins, also known as alkenes, are hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. They are a key class of compounds in the petrochemical industry, used as intermediates in the production of polymers, solvents, and various chemicals. Ethylene and propylene are the most common olefins, serving as the building blocks for polyethylene and polypropylene plastics. Olefins are typically produced through the cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons. They are highly reactive due to the presence of the double bond, making them valuable in chemical synthesis and industrial applications.
