Product Overview
1-Decene is a high-quality alpha-olefin characterized by its terminal double bond, making it an indispensable raw material in modern industrial chemistry. As a linear alpha-olefin, this compound serves as a critical building block for the production of advanced polymers, synthetic lubricants, and specialty surfactants. Our manufacturing process ensures exceptional purity levels, meeting stringent international standards for chemical intermediates used in sensitive synthesis pathways.
With a molecular formula of C10H20 and a molecular weight of 140.27, 1-Decene offers excellent reactivity due to its terminal vinyl group. This chemical profile allows for efficient incorporation into polymer chains, enhancing the physical properties of resulting materials such as flexibility and impact resistance. We supply this product globally to manufacturers who require consistent quality and reliable supply chains for large-scale production.

Industrial Applications
The versatility of 1-Decene makes it suitable for a wide range of downstream applications across multiple sectors. Its primary use lies in the polymer industry, where it acts as a comonomer in the production of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Incorporating 1-Decene into these polymers improves their mechanical properties, including tensile strength and environmental stress crack resistance.
- Polymer Production: Essential comonomer for LLDPE and HDPE manufacturing.
- Lubricants: Used in the synthesis of high-performance synthetic lubricants and lubricant additives.
- Surfactants: Serves as a precursor for alcohol-based surfactants and detergents.
- Organic Synthesis: Utilized in the production of fragrances, flavors, and specialty chemicals.
- Plasticizers: Applied in the formulation of advanced plasticizers for flexible materials.
Storage and Safety
1-Decene is classified as a flammable liquid and should be handled with appropriate safety measures. It is stable under normal conditions but is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. To maintain product integrity, storage warehouses must be well-ventilated, kept at low temperatures, and remain dry. Containers should be lightly loaded and unloaded to prevent static discharge. Always store separately from oxidants and acids to avoid hazardous reactions. We provide comprehensive safety data sheets (SDS) and certificates of analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure compliance with local regulations and safe handling practices.
