Description

1-Dodecene, Homopolymer is a synthetic polymer derived from the polymerization of 1-dodecene, a linear α-olefin. This material is valued for its hydrophobic nature, chemical stability, and ability to modify rheological properties. It serves as a crucial intermediate and performance additive in several industrial sectors, including lubricants, adhesives, and specialty coatings. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable global availability for commercial and research applications.

Application

• Lubricant and Grease Additive: Acts as a viscosity index improver and thickener to enhance the performance and stability of synthetic lubricants and greases.
• Adhesive and Sealant Formulation: Used as a tackifier or modifying resin to improve adhesion, cohesion, and flexibility in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Coating and Ink Modifier: Imparts water repellency, gloss, and flow control properties to industrial coatings, printing inks, and overprint varnishes.
• Personal Care and Cosmetics: Functions as a film-forming agent, emollient, or viscosity regulator in skincare and haircare products.
• Plastic and Rubber Processing Aid: Employed as a processing aid or internal lubricant to improve mold release and surface finish in polymer compounding.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a backbone for further chemical modifications, such as sulfonation or epoxidation, to create surfactants or other functional polymers.
