Sentence examples for olefin from inspiring English sources
The word 'olefin' is correct and usable in written English
It is a technical term used to describe a type of chemical compound. Example: "The new cleaning product is made with olefin-based surfactants, making it more effective at removing grease and oil stains."
noun
Any of a class of unsaturated op chain hydrocarbons such as ethylene; an alkene with only one carbon-carbon double bond.
The reactions postulated for olefin compounds apply principally to intermediate products within the reactor system, since the olefin content of catalytic cracking feedstock is usually very low.
A conversion refinery incorporates all the basic building blocks found in both the topping and hydroskimming refineries, but it also features gas oil conversion plants such as catalytic cracking and hydrocracking units, olefin conversion plants such as alkylation or polymerization units, and, frequently, coking units for sharply reducing or eliminating the production of residual fuels.
As a result, both the Europeans and Japanese generally crack a naphtha or light gas oil fraction to produce a full range of olefin products.
Sparks and Thomas defied convention by copolymerizing isobutylene, an olefin (hydrocarbon molecules containing only one carbon-carbon double bond) with small amounts e.g., less than 2 percent of isoprene.
They copolymerized isobutylene, an olefin (that is, a hydrocarbon containing only one double bond in each molecule), with small amounts e.g., less than 2 percent of isoprene.

1,3-Dithiane and other thioacetals can also be converted to olefins by the Takeda olefination reaction.
The simplest examples of this class of reactions are the olefin-forming 1,2-eliminations that is, eliminations of substituents from adjacent carbon atoms—but eliminations to give other types of double bonds are equally well known.

By far the most important industrial polymers (for example, virtually all the commodity plastics) are polymerized olefins.
Like ethylene, it belongs to the "lower olefins," a class of hydrocarbons whose molecules contain a single pair of carbon atoms linked by a double bond.
