ALKENES (OLEFIN HYDROCARBONS) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Alkenes, also known as olefins, are a group of unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond, represented by the general formula CnH2n. Common examples include ethylene, propylene, and butylene. Alkenes are highly reactive and are used as intermediates in the production of various chemicals, including plastics, solvents, and synthetic fibers. They play a crucial role in the manufacture of polyethylene, polypropylene, and other polymers. Alkenes are typically found in petroleum and natural gas and are produced through cracking processes. Proper handling and storage of alkenes are essential to prevent fire hazards, as they are highly flammable. Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety guidelines are necessary to ensure safe usage and prevent accidents.
