Hydrogenated polydecene
What is Hydrogenated polydecene?
Hydrogenated polydecene (CAS 68037-01-4) is a fully saturated synthetic hydrocarbon fluid produced by polymerizing and hydrogenating 1-decene.
Where is Hydrogenated polydecene used?
- Lubricants and metalworking fluids: synthetic base oil where thermal stability is critical
- Compressor oils, gear oils and high-temperature greases: low pour points
- Personal care: emollient and skin-conditioning agent in color cosmetics, sunscreens and hair care
- Automotive: engine oils and transmission fluids requiring extended drain intervals
- Polymer compounding: plasticizer and process aid improving flexibility and processing behavior
- It delivers exceptional oxidative stability and low volatility across a broad viscosity range.
Commercial specifications
- Commercial grades typically range from 2 cSt to 1000 cSt viscosity at 100°C
- Meets relevant purity specifications for intended industrial and cosmetic applications
- Bulk liquid and intermediate bulk container (IBC) packaging common for global distribution
