Description

1-Tetradecene is a high-purity, linear α-olefin (C14) that serves as a fundamental building block in organic synthesis and industrial chemistry. Its terminal double bond makes it a versatile intermediate for creating surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. This product is essential for manufacturers in the chemical, petrochemical, and materials science sectors seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for performance-driven applications.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and alcohol ethoxylates, which are primary components in industrial and household cleaning formulations.
• Lubricant & Oil Additive Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and other synthetic base oils, as well as performance-enhancing additives like viscosity index improvers.
• Polymer & Co-polymer Production: Acts as a co-monomer in the production of polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to modify density, crystallinity, and mechanical properties.
• Organic Synthesis & Fine Chemicals: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in various organic reactions, including hydroformylation, oxidation, and epoxidation, to produce alcohols, acids, and other derivatives.
• Plasticizer & PVC Stabilizer Precursor: Utilized in the synthesis of compounds that enhance the flexibility and stability of plastic materials like PVC.
• Specialty Chemicals & Fragrances: A precursor in the synthesis of higher molecular weight olefins and other specialty chemicals used in flavors, fragrances, and agrochemicals.
