Alkenes: Industrial Importance. Alkenes find many diverse applications in industry. They are used as starting materials in the syntheses of alcohols, plastics, laquers, detergents, and fuels.The most important alkenes for the chemical industry are ethene, propene and 1,3-butadiene.Ethene is the most important organic feedstock in the chemical industry.lkenes: Industrial Importance.

The products of cracking include alkenes (for example ethene and propene). The alkenes are a family of hydrocarbons that share the same general formula. This is C n H 2n. The general formula means that the number of hydrogen atoms in an alkene is double the number of carbon atoms.he presence of this double bond allows alkenes to react in ways that alkanes cannot. They can react with oxygen in the air, so they could be used as fuels. But they are more useful than that. They can be used to make ethanol-alcohol-and polymers-plastics-two crucial products in today's world. Page: 1  1.
