Description

2,4,6-Trimethyl Heptane CAS NO 2613-61-8 is a branched-chain alkane hydrocarbon, also known as isododecane, valued for its high chemical stability and low reactivity. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and a high-purity solvent in advanced manufacturing processes. It is particularly essential for industries requiring non-polar, inert media, such as specialty chemical synthesis, polymer production, and high-performance lubricant formulation.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, surfactants, and plasticizers.
• High-Performance Solvent: Acts as a non-polar solvent in coatings, adhesives, and ink formulations where low odor and high purity are critical.
• Polymer & Rubber Industry: Employed as a process aid or diluent in the production of synthetic rubbers and polymers.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Serves as a base or additive component in specialty lubricants due to its stability.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as an emollient or solvent in high-end cosmetic products (e.g., as isododecane).
• Fuel & Fuel Additives: Can be utilized as a component in high-octane fuel blends or additive packages.
• Laboratory & Research: Functions as a reference standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and material science.
• Cleaning & Degreasing Agents: An effective ingredient in precision cleaning formulations for electronic and metal parts.
