Novvi® CX LAO
Renewably-Sourced High Performance Olefins
Our Linear Alpha Olefins (LAOs) are engineered from 100% plant-based feedstocks to deliver exceptional performance in industrial applications. Featuring a perfectly linear molecular structure, these olefins provide predictable reactivity, excellent blending properties, and high performance across a wide range of end uses.
Novvi LAOs are highly versatile intermediates used in the production of amines and amine oxides, oxo alcohols, alkylated aromatics, alpha-olefin sulfonates, alkyl succinic anhydrides, drilling fluids, and epoxides. They lead the market in critical environmental metrics—biodegradability, toxicity, and renewability—providing a high-performance chemical platform with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
- 100% renewable with a negative carbon footprint
- Narrow range of molecular weight for specialty chemical applications
- Linear structure to provide consistent reactions and final product properties
- Contribute to lower emissions
- Reduces potential for environmental damage caused by spills or leakage
Now Available: C16 LAO and C18 LAO
Coming Soon: C12 LAO and C14 LAO
