Product type
Alpha olefins are a class of olefins characterized by the presence of a double bond at the first carbon atom of the molecule. They are typically produced through the oligomerization of ethylene and can be derived from various feedstocks, including natural gas and crude oil. These compounds are used as intermediates in the production of a wide range of chemical products, including detergents, lubricants, and plasticizers.
| Chemical formula | CnH2n |
| Typical carbon chain length | C4 to C18 |
| Purity | Typically 90% or higher |
| Boiling point range | Varies from 60°C to 250°C |
| Density | 0.7 to 0.9 g/cm³ |
When selecting alpha olefins, buyers should consider the specific chain length required for their application, as well as the desired purity level. It is important to specify any necessary grades and certifications relevant to the intended use, such as food-grade or industrial-grade standards. Quantities may vary based on production needs, so it's advisable to provide estimated usage to receive accurate quotes.
