Product Application

Analytical Science & Standards (Core Application):

Cetane Number Reference:​ The internationally recognized primary reference fuel for diesel cetane number, defined as 100. Used to calibrate and determine the cetane number of other fuels, it is the cornerstone standard for evaluating diesel ignition performance and combustion quality.

Chromatographic Standard:​ An important high-boiling retention index standard in gas chromatography (GC)​ for analyzing complex hydrocarbon mixtures.

Spectroscopic Solvent:​ A high-boiling, inert solvent​ for techniques like infrared (IR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Energy & Fuel Industry:

Diesel Additive/Cetane Improver:​ Can be used directly or in derivative form as a diesel additive​ to improve the combustion performance of low-cetane diesel, enhance cold starts, and reduce emissions.

Model Fuel/Surrogate Fuel:​ Used in fundamental combustion research as a model fuel or surrogate component for biodiesel/synthetic diesel​ to study combustion, emissions, and spray characteristics.

Organic Synthesis & Chemical Industry:

Chemical Intermediate:​ Can be functionalized via oxidation, sulfonation, chlorination, etc., to produce cetylbenzene, cetyl alcohol, palmitic acid, which are raw materials for surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers.

Specialty Solvent:​ Used as a high-temperature reaction solvent, precision cleaning agent, lubricant additive, and base oil/component in metalworking fluids, offering excellent thermal stability and lubricity.

Phase-Change Material (PCM):​ Utilizes its suitable melting point and high latent heat of fusion as a medium-to-low temperature phase-change thermal energy storage material​ for applications in solar thermal storage, building energy efficiency, and thermal management of electronic devices.

Personal Care & Consumer Products:

Emollient/Solvent:​ Used in lipsticks, lip balms, skin creams, and hair oils​ as a highly stable emollient oil, pigment solvent, and thickener, providing moisturization and gloss.
