Industrial Grade 1-Hexene from Japan
1-Hexene is an acyclic alpha-olefin hydrocarbon (C6H12) with a double bond, derived from petroleum through catalytic cracking and oligomerization processes. It falls under HTS 2901.29.10 as an unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon other than ethylene, propylene, butene, and butadiene, specifically sourced from petroleum. Commonly used as a comonomer in polyethylene production.

Import Tips
• Verify petroleum/shale oil/natural gas derivation with supplier certificates to meet HTS 2901.29.10 specificity
• Ensure proper SDS and UN classification for flammable liquids (UN 2371); check flash point documentation
• Avoid misclassification as Chapter 27 hydrocarbons by confirming >50% unsaturated acyclic content
