Description

Alkane C48 CAS NO 7098-26-2 is a high-purity, long-chain linear alkane, also known as octatetracontane, valued for its exceptional chemical stability and consistent physical properties. This product is essential for applications requiring a high-melting, inert hydrocarbon with precise molecular weight characteristics. It is primarily utilized in advanced material science, polymer research, and as a critical standard in analytical chemistry and calibration.

Application

• As a high-purity reference standard and calibrant in Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Mass Spectrometry (MS).
• As a key model compound in polymer and materials science research for studying crystallization behavior, thermal properties, and phase transitions.
• As a synthetic intermediate or building block in the production of specialty surfactants, waxes, and lubricant additives.
• As a phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage applications due to its defined melting point.
• In the formulation of specialty coatings, release agents, and mold lubricants where high thermal stability is required.
• For fundamental scientific research in organic chemistry and physical chemistry as a well-defined long-chain hydrocarbon.
