Products classified under HTS 2901.29.10.10

1-Hexene (C6 Linear α-Olefin)

1-Hexene is a colorless liquid unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon with the formula C6H12, featuring a terminal double bond characteristic of linear α-olefins. Derived from petroleum cracking processes, it falls under HTS 2901.29.10.10 as an unmixed linear α-olefin in the C6-C30 range. Primarily used as a comonomer in producing linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).

1-Octene (C8 Linear α-Olefin)

1-Octene (C8H16) is a key linear α-olefin produced via ethylene oligomerization from petroleum sources, unmixed and within the C6-C30 range specified by HTS 2901.29.10.10. It serves as a critical comonomer for high-performance LLDPE films and as feedstock for synthetic lubricants and plasticizers.

1-Decene (C10 Linear α-Olefin)

Pure 1-Decene (C10H20) is an unmixed linear terminal olefin derived from natural gas liquids or petroleum, classified under HTS 2901.29.10.10 for C6-C30 α-olefins. Widely used in producing polyalphaolefins (PAO) synthetic base oils for lubricants and as feedstock for oxo-alcohols.

1-Dodecene (C12 Linear α-Olefin)

1-Dodecene is a C12 linear α-olefin meeting HTS 2901.29.10.10 specifications as an unmixed, petroleum-derived acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon. Essential raw material for manufacturing linear alkylbenzene (LAB) detergents and medium-viscosity PAO lubricants.

1-Tetradecene (C14 Linear α-Olefin)

High-purity 1-Tetradecene (C14H28) qualifies as an unmixed linear α-olefin under HTS 2901.29.10.10, produced from petroleum ethylene oligomerization. Used in high-performance synthetic lubricants, agricultural chemicals, and as a precursor for fatty acid derivatives.

1-Hexadecene (C16 Linear α-Olefin)

1-Hexadecene, a C16 linear terminal olefin derived from petroleum, meets all criteria for HTS 2901.29.10.10 as an unmixed α-olefin in the specified carbon range. Primarily utilized in producing high-viscosity PAO base stocks and specialty surfactants.
