Description

9-Butyldocosane is a high-purity, long-chain branched alkane, also known by its CAS number 55282-14-9. This specialty hydrocarbon is valued for its chemical stability and predictable physical properties, making it an essential intermediate and performance additive in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the lubricant, polymer, and specialty chemical industries for its role in modifying viscosity, enhancing thermal stability, and acting as a non-reactive process fluid.

Application

• Synthetic Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a high-performance base oil or viscosity modifier to improve low-temperature fluidity and oxidative stability.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Industry: Serves as a processing aid and internal lubricant in polymer production to reduce friction and improve mold release.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in organic synthesis for the production of more complex surfactants, emulsifiers, and functional fluids.
• Reference Standard & Calibration: Employed in analytical laboratories as a certified reference material for gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry due to its defined retention index.
• Specialty Solvents & Carrier Fluids: Functions as a low-volatility, inert solvent for high-temperature reactions and coatings.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient and texture enhancer in premium skin care and cosmetic formulations.
