Frequent Uses

Polymerisation
The primary use of hex-1-ene is as a comonomer in production of polyethylene. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) use approximately 2–4% and 8–10% of comonomers, respectively.

Chemical synthesis
Another significant use of hex-1-ene is the production of the linear aldehyde heptanal via hydroformylation (oxo synthesis). Heptanal can be converted to the short-chain fatty acid heptanoic acid or the alcohol heptanol. Hexene is used in the synthesis of flavours, perfumes, dyes and resins.
