1-Hexadecene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Solvent, organic intermediate, ignition standard for diesel fuels.

Uses

1-Hexadecene is used as an intermediate for organic synthesis. It is utilized as a blend for off-shore drilling fluids. It is also used as a surface active agent, finishing agent, process regulator, functional fluid, lubricant and lubricant additive. Further, it acts as comonomers in polymer such as low density polyethylenes, which shows thiner, flexibility and tearing resistance.

Definition

ChEBI: An unbranched sixteen-carbon alkene with one double bond between C-1 and C-2.
