Description

n-Dodecene-1 is a high-purity linear α-olefin, a key intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of industrial chemicals. Its terminal double bond makes it a versatile and reactive building block for creating surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. This product is essential for manufacturers in the chemical, petrochemical, and materials science sectors seeking reliable raw materials for performance-driven applications.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Primary feedstock for the production of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LABS), a major component in biodegradable detergents and cleaning agents.
• Lubricant & Oil Additive Synthesis: Used in manufacturing polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and other synthetic base oils, as well as additives like alkyl succinimides for engine oils.
• Specialty Polymer Production: Serves as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and as a precursor for specialty polymers and plasticizers.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate in organic synthesis for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances via hydroformylation, oxidation, or epoxidation reactions.
• Fatty Alcohol & Amine Derivatives: Converted into dodecanol and dodecylamine, which are used in cosmetics, personal care products, and corrosion inhibitors.

Quality Control

Our n-Dodecene-1 is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (GC) to verify key parameters such as isomer content and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and physical properties is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture pickup.
