Description

Poly(1-Decene) is a synthetic hydrocarbon polymer derived from the oligomerization of 1-decene, a linear α-olefin. This versatile material serves as a high-performance base fluid and chemical intermediate, valued for its excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and hydrophobic nature. It is essential for manufacturers in the lubricants, personal care, and specialty chemicals industries seeking reliable, consistent raw materials for demanding formulations. The compound is also identified by CAS No. 68649-12-7.

Application

• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stocks: A key component in high-performance synthetic engine oils, gear oils, and compressor fluids due to its outstanding viscosity index and oxidative stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a non-greasy, silky feel.
• Industrial Fluids & Functional Fluids: Employed in heat transfer fluids, hydraulic fluids, and metalworking fluids where thermal and hydrolytic stability are critical.
• Plasticizer & Processing Aid: Acts as a secondary plasticizer and lubricant in polymer processing (e.g., PVC, polyolefins) to improve flexibility and flow.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a tackifier and rheology modifier in pressure-sensitive adhesives and sealant formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a feedstock for the production of surfactants, polyalphaolefins (PAOs), and other specialty oligomers.

Quality Control

Our Poly(1-Decene) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for viscosity, molecular weight distribution, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and open flames. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize oxidative degradation.
