Hexene

AHexene is a colorless liquid with the formula C6H12 that is classified as an alpha-olefin. It is primarily used as a co-monomer in the production of HDPE and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), to produce polyethylene, a plastic resin commonly converted into film, plastic pipe, milk jugs, detergent bottles, and food and beverage containers and to produce mercaptans, oxo alcohols, organic aluminum compounds, and synthetic fatty acids.
