【Application】
The following are the main uses and analysis of N-hexadecane:
1. Lubricant base oil
The viscosity characteristics of long-chain alkanes make them a component of certain precision mechanical lubricants, especially exhibiting stability in high-temperature environments.
2. Polymer material processing
Used as processing aids or release agents in plastic and rubber production to reduce friction and adhesion.
3. n-Hexadecane is mainly used in chemical synthesis and solvents
Inert reaction medium As a solvent in organic synthesis, it is suitable for reactions that require an inert environment, such as free radical polymerization.
Surfactant precursor
Anionic surfactants are prepared through reactions such as sulfonation and oxidation, and n-hexadecane is used as a detergent or emulsifier.
