Used as a chemical intermediate in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and oil additives. It undergoes oligomerization or alkylation to form high-molecular-weight compounds suitable for synthetic lubricants and functional fluids. Also employed in the manufacture of fatty amines and other derivatives used in corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and fabric softeners. Its linear alpha-olefin structure makes it valuable in co-polymerization processes for creating polyethylene with enhanced properties. Additionally, it serves as a building block in specialty chemicals for agrochemicals and personal care products.
