Description

6-Dodecene is a high-purity, linear α-olefin (LAO) with the CAS registry number 7206-17-9, serving as a crucial intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its terminal double bond and defined carbon chain length make it a versatile building block for creating specialty chemicals with tailored properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, surfactant, and lubricant industries seeking to develop high-performance materials.

Application

• Polymer & Plasticizer Production: Acts as a key comonomer in the synthesis of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and as a precursor for specialized plasticizers.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Used in the manufacture of biodegradable, high-performance surfactants and detergent alcohols via processes like hydroformylation.
• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stock: Serves as a raw material for producing polyalphaolefins (PAOs), which are high-quality synthetic lubricant base oils.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a versatile alkylating agent and intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
• Specialty Additives: Utilized in the production of corrosion inhibitors, fuel additives, and other performance chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 6-Dodecene is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, isomer distribution, and impurity profiles. We are committed to meeting the specific requirements of our global clientele, with quality protocols aligned with industry best practices.

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 oxidizers. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture pickup.
