Description

1-Octadecene, 14-Methyl- is a branched, long-chain α-olefin with the CAS registry number 93091-95-3. This specialty olefin is valued for its role as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance surfactants, lubricant additives, and polymer modifiers. It is primarily sought after by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the specialty chemicals, advanced materials, and petrochemical sectors.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing specialized surfactants with unique branching for improved solubility and performance.
• Lubricant Additive Precursor: Used in the production of polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stocks and other additives that enhance viscosity index and low-temperature properties.
• Polymer Comonomer: Serves as a comonomer to introduce long-chain branching into polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene, modifying physical properties.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Employed in research and fine chemical synthesis for creating complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Paper Sizing Agent Production: A precursor for alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) sizing agents, which impart water resistance to paper and paperboard.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Used in the manufacture of emollients and conditioning agents for cosmetics and personal care formulations.
