Description

Alkenes, C$ CAS NO 68475-63-8 is a defined mixture of linear α-olefins, a versatile class of hydrocarbons characterized by a terminal double bond. This chemical composition is fundamental for a wide range of industrial synthesis and modification processes, offering excellent reactivity for polymerization, alkylation, and functionalization. It is an essential intermediate for manufacturers in the polymer, surfactant, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to build specific molecular architectures.

Application

• Polymer & Plastic Manufacturing: Serves as a crucial comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to control density and mechanical properties.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: Used as a feedstock for the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB), a key precursor for biodegradable linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) detergents.
• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stocks: Acts as a building block for polyalphaolefins (PAOs), which are high-performance synthetic lubricants with superior thermal and oxidative stability.
• Chemical Intermediate Production: Employed in oxo synthesis to manufacture aldehydes and alcohols, and in hydroformylation reactions for specialty chemicals.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in the formulation of drilling fluid additives and emulsion breakers.
• Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Provides a reactive platform for synthesizing more complex molecules in specialty chemical applications.

Quality Control

Our Alkenes, C$ is produced under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including gas chromatography (GC) for composition analysis, determination of bromine number, and checks for key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific carbon number distribution and physicochemical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. As this product is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store under an inert gas blanket (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially filled containers. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
