butyleen

Butyleene, also known as 1-butene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8. It is an alkene, which means it contains a carbon-carbon double bond. Butyleene is a colorless gas at room temperature and is highly flammable. It is commonly used as a monomer in the production of polybutylene, a type of plastic. Butyleene is also used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemicals. It can be produced through the cracking of petroleum or through the dehydration of butanol. Butyleene is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is subject to regulations due to its potential impact on air quality and human health. The global demand for butyleene is driven by its use in the production of plastics, particularly in the automotive and packaging industries.
