Description

1-Dodecene is a high-purity linear alpha olefin, a fundamental building block in the synthesis of a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals. Its terminal double bond makes it a highly reactive and versatile intermediate for alkylation, oligomerization, and polymerization reactions. This product is essential for manufacturers in the surfactants, lubricants, polymers, and fine chemicals sectors seeking a reliable and consistent feedstock.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Primary feedstock for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and subsequently linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), a key anionic surfactant.
• Lubricant & Oil Additive Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of polyalphaolefins (PAO) synthetic base oils and as a precursor for various lubricant additives like dodecylphenol.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Production: Serves as a co-monomer in polyethylene and other polyolefins, and as a raw material for producing plasticizer alcohols (e.g., tridecyl alcohol).
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as an alkylating agent and a key intermediate in the synthesis of flavors, fragrances, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Specialty Chemicals: Employed in the production of amine oxides, betaines, and other specialty surfactants for personal care and industrial formulations.

Quality Control

Our 1-Dodecene is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include parameters for assay, isomer content, and key impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your process requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
