IRM-Alpha 2440 is normal alpha olephins. Hence they possess highly accessible, terminal, double-bonds. This reactive potential renders these products ideal for manufacturing numerous products. The product is manufactured in the USA by oligomerizing ethylene. The wax-like, higher alpha olefins constitute a small proportion of the total alpha olefin production. So customers are advised to plan their usage with their IRM salesperson. Normal alpha olefins or their derivatives are employed in conjuction with polyethylene co-monomers, plasticizers, synthetic motor oils, lubricants, automotive additives, surfactants, and paper sizing. IRM Alpha Olefins provide versatile tools and components for many other specific applications.
