Results for tag: "Nonene"

Nonene (propylene trimer) is a linear alkene with a nine-carbon backbone. It's a petrochemical intermediate that is primarily used in the production of plasticizers, which improve the flexibility and durability of plastics like PVC. It is also involved in the manufacturing of surfactants and additives that are employed in a myriad of industrial and consumer products including detergents, lubricants, and fuels. Nonene is produced through the oligomerization of propylene, a process where small molecules called monomers join together to form a larger molecule. The market for nonene is influenced by the demand from end-use industries and is subject to fluctuating feedstock prices and environmental regulations which impact production and use. Innovations in the applications of nonene and its derivatives continue to shape its market dynamics. Some key players involved in the production of nonene include companies like Shell Chemicals, which operates through a vast array of petrochemical manufacturing sites, and Braskem, a leading player in the petrochemical industry in the Americas. INEOS, a multinational chemicals company, is also an important entity in the nonene market with its global operations. Other companies, such as SI Group and ExxonMobil Chemical, maintain significant positions within this market, leveraging their extensive chemical manufacturing expertise and distribution networks.
