Product Description

N-Butylene and isobutylene are both hydrocarbons and belong to the class of compounds known as alkenes, which contain carbon-carbon double bonds. N-Butylene, also known as butene, refers to any of the alkene molecules with the formula C4H8. There are several isomers of butene, including 1-butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, and isobutylene (2-methylpropene). Butene is a colorless, flammable hydrocarbon. It is lighter than air and has a faint petroleum-like odor. On the other hand, isobutylene is an isomer of butene with the chemical formula C4H8. It is structurally different due to the branching in its carbon chain. Isobutylene is also a colorless, flammable hydrocarbon with a mild odor. It is used extensively in the chemical industry.

In industrial applications, butene usually serves either as a monomer in the creation of polymers or as a co-monomer of plastics. Depending on the present catalyst at the polymerization process, the monomer can tend to polymerize into more extensive molecules. Isobutylene, however, is primarily used in the production of various types of polymers, for example butyl rubber, but still, it is used in the manufacturing of the isooctane that raises the octane number in the fuel.

N-Butylene is extensively employed in chemical synthesis through the technique of polybutylene and other polymers. It is also an intermediate for producing other chemicals. Main applications of isobutylene include the production of very fine rubber and fuel additives that enhance the performance of gasoline. It is also used as a chemical building block in synthesizing a lot of other chemicals that go into the manufacture of antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes.
