1-Butene
1-Butene Gas
1-Butene (C₄H₈), also known as 1-Butylene, is a colorless and highly flammable hydrocarbon gas belonging to the alpha-olefin family. It is widely used as an important chemical feedstock and co-monomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polybutene and other specialty chemicals. It is also used in chemical processing and customized calibration gas mixtures for gas, oil and chemical industries.
