Description

1-Octene is a fundamental linear α-olefin (LAO) with the CAS number 111-66-0, serving as a critical building block in the synthesis of a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals. Its terminal double bond makes it highly reactive, enabling its use as a key comonomer in polymerization and a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. This product is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, surfactants, lubricants, and fine chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and develop new materials.

Application

• Polymer Comonomer: Primarily used in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to improve flexibility, toughness, and processability.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for manufacturing C9 oxo alcohols, which are further processed into plasticizers and non-ionic surfactants for detergents and cleaning agents.
• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stock: Used in the synthesis of polyalphaolefins (PAOs), which are high-performance synthetic base oils for automotive and industrial lubricants.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as an important intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals via reactions like hydroformylation, epoxidation, and metathesis.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Incorporated as a modifier to adjust the properties of adhesives, sealants, and coatings.

Quality Control

Our 1-Octene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, moisture, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical 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, keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
