α-Olefins (Alpha Olefins) High Purity Linear Olefinic
This high-purity α-Olefins product range consists of linear alpha olefins with the double bond located at the terminal (alpha) position of the carbon chain. These are clear, colorless liquids available in various carbon chain lengths including C5, C6, C8, C10, C12-C14, C14-C16, C16-C18, C20-C24, and C30+ ranges . Produced through advanced oligomerization and refining processes such as the Alpha-Sablin process, these products feature high chemical reactivity, excellent purity, and consistent quality . α-Olefins are fundamental building blocks used as comonomers in polymer production, intermediates in chemical synthesis, and base materials for surfactants and lubricants . Their terminal double bond provides high reactivity for further functionalization.
Scope of Application
· This product can be used as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), plastomers, and elastomers (C4-C8 grades) .
· It can also be used as a raw material for the production of polyalphaolefins (PAO) synthetic lubricants and drilling fluids .
· It is suitable for use in the production of surfactants, detergents, and cleaning agents through sulfonation or ethoxylation .
· It can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricant additives, and oilfield chemicals .
· It is suitable for use in personal care and cosmetic formulations as an emollient and spreading agent (C16-C18 grades) .
· It can be used in paper chemicals, agrochemical formulations, and as a processing aid in various industrial applications .
