LAO C24-28 stands for “Linear Alpha Olefins with a carbon chain length of 24 to 28”. It is a type of chemical compound that belongs to the family of linear alpha olefins, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons with a terminal double bond.

LAO C24-28 is mainly used as a co-monomer in the production of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics. It acts as a comonomer to modify the properties of the final product, such as improving its tensile strength, flexibility, and impact resistance. LAO C24-28 is also used as a raw material in the production of lubricants, surfactants, and other specialty chemicals.

Linear alpha olefins, including LAO C24-28, are produced by the oligomerization of ethylene, which is a basic building block of the petrochemical industry. LAO C24-28 is considered a high-value product due to its relatively long carbon chain length and is used in a range of industrial applications where high performance is required.

It is important to handle LAO C24-28 with care, as it is a flammable liquid that can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Protective equipment and proper handling procedures should be used when working with this compound.
