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.

Where is 1-Docosene used?

• Plastics and polymer manufacturing: comonomer or homopolymer feedstock to modify chain length, crystallinity and melt behaviour in polyolefin systems
• Lubricants: base material or co-reactant for synthetic base oils and viscosity-modifying additives for high-temperature or heavy-duty use
• Oleochemical processing: synthesis of detergent-range intermediates, waxes and surface-active compounds
• Metalworking fluids: lubricity contribution in specialty cutting or forming fluids for extreme-pressure conditions
• Its 22-carbon terminal double bond makes it a reactive intermediate for high-molecular-weight polymers and functionalized derivatives.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade; purity typically confirmed by GC analysis
• Liquid at elevated temperatures or waxy solid at ambient conditions, depending on purity and handling setup
• Packaging: drums to intermediate bulk containers
