Description

1-Decene is a high-purity, linear α-olefin monomer essential for the synthesis of a wide range of industrial and specialty chemicals. Its terminal double bond makes it a highly reactive and versatile building block for polymerization and chemical modification. This product is critical for manufacturers in the polymer, surfactant, and lubricant industries seeking to produce materials with specific performance characteristics. We supply 1-Decene CAS NO 872-05-9 in commercial quantities with guaranteed consistency and reliable global logistics.

Application

• Polymer Production: A key comonomer in the manufacture of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to enhance properties like tensile strength and flexibility.
• Surfactants & Detergents: Used in the production of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and alcohol ethoxylates, which are primary ingredients in biodegradable detergents and industrial cleaners.
• Synthetic Lubricants & Fluids: Serves as a precursor for polyalphaolefins (PAOs), which are high-performance base stocks for synthetic engine oils, gear oils, and hydraulic fluids.
• Specialty Chemicals: Intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, agrochemicals, and flavor/fragrance compounds.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in the formulation of drilling fluid additives and production chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 1-Decene is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is analyzed against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include purity, isomer content, and key impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results of tests such as GC assay, water content, and peroxide value is provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the quality standards required for your specific industrial application.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of peroxides. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
