1-Docosene

1-Docosene (CAS 1599-67-3) is a long-chain linear alpha-olefin used as a monomer and chemical building block in polymer synthesis and specialty lubricant formulations.

Its 22-carbon terminal double bond makes it a reactive intermediate for producing high-molecular-weight polymers and functionalized derivatives sought by formulators working at the heavier end of the olefin spectrum.

In plastics and polymer manufacturing, 1-Docosene is incorporated as a comonomer or homopolymer feedstock to modify chain length, crystallinity, and melt behavior in polyolefin systems.

Lubricant formulators use it as a base material or co-reactant for producing synthetic base oils and viscosity-modifying additives suited to high-temperature or heavy-duty applications.

Its reactivity at the terminal double bond supports the synthesis of detergent-range intermediates, waxes, and surface-active compounds in oleochemical processing.

Metalworking fluid producers may also draw on its lubricity contribution when blending specialty cutting or forming fluids targeting extreme-pressure conditions.

1-Docosene is supplied as a liquid at elevated temperatures or as a waxy solid at ambient conditions, depending on purity and handling setup for industrial use.

Technical-grade material is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications typically confirmed by GC analysis. Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers.
