68814-91-5 - Introduction
Nature:
C5-9 alpha-olefins are Olefins having between 5 and 9 carbon atoms. They are unsaturated because they contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. These olefins are generally colorless liquids with relatively low boiling points.
Use:
C5-9 alpha-olefins are widely used in the chemical industry. They can be used as solvents, raw materials for polymers and lubricants. In addition, they can be used for the synthesis of various compounds such as esters, alcohols and amines.
Preparation Method:
C5-9 alpha-olefins can be prepared by various methods. One common method is to obtain olefins of different lengths by distilling petroleum coking gas or cracking petroleum hydrocarbons. Another method is to use a catalyst, such as barium graphitization, to convert long chain hydrocarbons to olefins.
Safety Information:
C5-9 alpha-olefins are mostly flammable liquids at room temperature, vapors can form explosive mixtures. Therefore, when using them, care should be taken to avoid fire sources and electrostatic sparks. In addition, long-term exposure or inhalation of olefin vapors may be harmful to humans, so appropriate protective measures such as wearing protective gloves and breathing masks are required.
