A family of thermoplastics based on the ethylene family of hydrocarbons Includes polyethylene and polypropylene Crosslinked versions are XLPOs
polymer derived by polymerization of relatively simple olefins Polyethylene and polyisoprene are important polyolefins
A strong, stable, hydrophobic polymer, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which can be used to make fibers
A family of thermoplastics based upon the unsaturated hydrocarbons known as olefins When combined with butylenes or styrene polymers they form compounds such as polyethylene and polypropylene
