Description

1,7-Octadiene is a highly versatile, straight-chain aliphatic diene with significant utility as a reactive building block in organic synthesis. Its terminal double bonds make it a valuable monomer for polymerization and a key intermediate for creating specialty polymers, cross-linking agents, and fine chemicals. This product is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to introduce flexible hydrocarbon chains or create novel polymeric architectures.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Serves as a comonomer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polyolefins, elastomers, and thermosetting resins.
• Fine Chemical Intermediate: Used in organic synthesis for hydroformylation, hydrogenation, and cyclization reactions to produce flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Acts as a reactive diluent or modifier in radiation-curable coatings and adhesives to enhance flexibility and adhesion properties.
• Chemical Research (R&D): A valuable reagent for developing new catalytic processes and novel organic compounds in academic and industrial research settings.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Utilized in the synthesis of specialty additives that improve the performance characteristics of industrial lubricants and fuels.

Quality Control

Our 1,7-Octadiene is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques (GC, GC-MS) to verify identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize evaporation and maintain stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
