C1618 ISOMERIZED OLEFIN

Alpha Olefin C1618, a blend of 1-Hexadecene and 1-Octadecene, is produced by Ineos Oligomers by using a modified Ziegler ethylene chain growth technology. The mixture is a clear water-white, mobile liquid. Alpha Olefin C1618 undergoes all reactions typical of alpha olefins. Alpha Olefin C1618 can be used in the production of oxo alcohols, alkylated aromatics, epoxides, tanning oils, synthetic fatty acids, and alpha olefin sulfonates. Alpha Olefin C1618 is also used as a base fluid for synthetic drilling muds.
