In the advanced field of combustion research and the development of sustainable aviation fuels, certain hydrocarbons have gained prominence as effective surrogates. Dodecane (CAS 112-40-3), a linear alkane with the chemical formula C12H26, is increasingly recognized for its suitability as a second-generation jet fuel surrogate. Its molecular structure and hydrogen-to-carbon ratio more closely mimic those found in real-world kerosene-based fuels, making it an invaluable tool for researchers studying combustion phenomena. For institutions involved in this research, sourcing high-purity Dodecane is essential.

The reason Dodecane is favored as a surrogate lies in its balanced combustion properties. Compared to shorter-chain alkanes, Dodecane’s higher molecular mass and lower hydrogen-to-carbon ratio provide a more accurate representation of the complex fuel mixtures found in jet fuels like Jet-A. This allows for more precise modeling of laminar flame speeds and overall combustion behavior. Researchers often seek to buy Dodecane that is consistent in purity, typically 99% or higher, to ensure the validity of their experimental data and simulations. Its stability and predictable reactivity under high-temperature conditions are also critical advantages.
