Description

1-C6H13 CAS NO 2679-29-0 is a high-purity, highly volatile organic compound, also known as 1-Hexene. This α-olefin is a critical building block and intermediate in numerous industrial chemical synthesis processes. Its reactivity and specific structure make it essential for manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to produce high-value derivatives.

Application

• Polymer Production: Primary comonomer in the manufacture of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
• Chemical Synthesis: Key intermediate for producing synthetic lubricants, plasticizers (e.g., dioctyl phthalate alternatives), and surfactants.
• Specialty Chemicals: Used in the synthesis of flavors, fragrances, and agricultural chemical intermediates.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a fundamental reagent in hydroformylation, polymerization, and alkylation reactions in research and development.
• Fuel & Additive Component: Used in the formulation of certain high-octane gasoline blends and fuel additives.

Quality Control

Our 1-C6H13 is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting industry and customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
