Dodecene

Main Uses

Synthetic Detergent Raw Materials:

1-Dodecene is one of the important raw materials for preparing linear alkylbenzene (LAB). It generates LAB through an alkylation reaction with benzene, and after further sulfonation, sodium linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is obtained. It is a core component of household detergents and industrial cleaning agents, possessing excellent detergency.

Lubricating Oil and Additives:

It can generate polyalphaolefin (PAO) through polymerization reactions, serving as a key base oil for synthetic lubricants. It is characterized by good high-temperature stability, a high viscosity index, and excellent low-temperature fluidity, and is widely used in automotive engine oils, aviation lubricants, etc. It serves as an intermediate for synthesizing lubricant additives (such as antioxidants and rust inhibitors).

Surfactants and Fine Chemicals:

Used for synthesizing fatty alcohols, fatty acids, etc., and further preparing nonionic surfactants, emulsifiers, etc.

Used for producing fine chemical products such as dodecanethiol (rubber polymerization regulator) and dodecylamine (cationic surfactant).

Other Fields:

Used as a solvent in the coatings and ink industries, or as a standard for chromatographic analysis.

Used for preparing plasticizers, fragrance intermediates, etc.
