Description

7-Tetradecene is a high-purity, straight-chain α-olefin with the CAS number 10374-74-0, serving as a versatile intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis. Its defined linear C14 structure makes it a valuable building block for creating surfactants, lubricant additives, and fine chemicals with tailored properties. This product is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the polymer, agrochemical, and personal care sectors seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their processes.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Acts as a key raw material for the production of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) and other high-performance surfactants.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and other additives that enhance viscosity index and performance.
• Polymer Comonomer: Serves as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and other polyolefins to modify density and mechanical properties.
• Fine Chemical Building Block: Employed in organic synthesis for creating fragrances, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Plasticizer Alcohol Precursor: A precursor in the oxo process for manufacturing C14 plasticizer alcohols like tetradecanol.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and material science research.

Quality Control

Our 7-Tetradecene is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) to verify composition and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer distribution, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, ensuring it meets the specifications required for your application.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture pickup.
