Chemical structure: Isomeric eicosane is an alkane, typically a mixture of its different isomers. Its molecular formula is C20H42.
Physical properties: It is usually a colorless and transparent liquid with a petroleum like odor. Its boiling point is above about 340 ℃ (650 ℉), and its relative density is between 0.7-0.8. It is difficult to dissolve in water, but can be dissolved in various organic solvents.
Volatility: Its low volatility makes it relatively stable in certain applications.
As a solvent and moisturizer, it can improve the texture and application feel of products.
As a base oil component in certain industrial lubricants, it provides excellent lubrication performance.
As a part of chemical raw materials, it is used to synthesize other compounds.
Petroleum fractionation: Extracting from petroleum and separating the required hydrocarbon components through a fractionation process.
Catalytic cracking in the refining process: heavier hydrocarbons are cracked into lighter hydrocarbons through catalysts to obtain isomeric eicosanes.
Synthesis method: Through chemical synthesis routes, such as reactions of synthesis gas or other hydrocarbons, isomeric eicosanes are generated.
