Used primarily in the production of surfactants and detergents due to its ability to undergo alkylation reactions, especially in the synthesis of linear alkylbenzenes (LABs). It serves as a comonomer in the manufacture of polyolefins, enhancing the properties of plastics such as flexibility and thermal stability. Also utilized in the synthesis of fatty amines, alcohols, and other intermediates for agrochemicals, lubricants, and oilfield chemicals. Its reactivity in hydroformylation processes makes it valuable for producing C10 aldehydes and alcohols used in plasticizers and fragrance formulations.
