Dodecene

　　Main Uses

　　Synthetic Detergent Raw Materials:

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

　　Lubricating Oils and Additives:

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

　　Surfactants and Fine Chemicals:

　　Used in the synthesis of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, etc., for the further preparation of non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers, etc.

　　Used in the production of fine chemical products such as 1-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 in the preparation of plasticizers, fragrance intermediates, etc.
