Description

Alkenes, C24-54-Branched And Linear .Alpha.- is a high-purity, defined mixture of long-chain α-olefins, a critical class of chemical intermediates valued for their reactivity and structural versatility. This product is essential for creating custom-tailored polymers, surfactants, and lubricant additives with specific performance characteristics. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemicals, and lubricants industries for applications requiring precise molecular weight and branching control.

Application

• Polymer Comonomer: Used as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to precisely control polymer density and mechanical properties.
• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stocks: Serves as a key feedstock for manufacturing high-performance polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic lubricants, offering excellent viscosity index and thermal stability.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Reacted to produce alkylbenzenes and alcohol ethoxylates, which are fundamental components in industrial and household cleaning formulations.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in the synthesis of drilling fluid additives and demulsifiers for enhanced oil recovery and production operations.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for producing plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, and other performance chemicals.
• Adhesive & Sealant Modifier: Incorporated to modify the flexibility, adhesion, and aging properties of hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Quality Control

Our Alkenes, C24-54-Branched And Linear .Alpha.- is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for composition and carbon number distribution, to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 moisture absorption and oxidation.
