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
