Description

Hydrocarbons, C14-24, Olefin-Rich CAS NO 122491-53-6 is a specialized blend of medium to long-chain hydrocarbons characterized by a high concentration of olefinic (alkene) double bonds. This unique chemical profile makes it a highly reactive and versatile intermediate for industrial synthesis and formulation. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the chemical, polymer, and lubricant industries for applications requiring tailored molecular weight and reactivity.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a key feedstock for the production of synthetic lubricants, plasticizers, and specialty surfactants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a reactive diluent or co-monomer to modify the properties of polyolefins and other resins.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in the formulation of drilling fluid additives and corrosion inhibitors.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Serves as a reactive component to enhance flexibility and adhesion properties.
• Fuel & Lubricant Additive Precursor: A starting material for synthesizing performance-enhancing additives for fuels and lubricating oils.
• Research & Development: Utilized in laboratories for developing new catalytic processes and novel hydrocarbon-based materials.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with customer specifications. Key parameters monitored include olefin content, carbon number distribution, bromine number, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C. Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace and exposure to air during handling and storage.
