Request SDS →sec-Hexadecylnaphthalene (CAS 94247-63-9) is a long-chain alkyl-substituted naphthalene, molecular formula C26H40, in the alkylated-naphthalene class of cyclic hydrocarbons. Alkylated naphthalenes of this type are used as synthetic lubricant base fluids.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sec-hexadecylnaphthalene used for?
sec-Hexadecylnaphthalene (CAS 94247-63-9) is a long-chain alkyl-substituted naphthalene used primarily as a synthetic lubricant base fluid. Alkylated naphthalenes of this class serve as base stock for formulated synthetic lubricants and as an alkyl-aromatic intermediate for further synthesis.
What is the common name for naphthalene?
Naphthalene (C10H8) is the parent fused-ring aromatic; sec-hexadecylnaphthalene is the alkylated derivative carrying a C16 sec-hexadecyl chain on the naphthalene ring. The molecular formula of sec-hexadecylnaphthalene is C26H40, placing it in the cyclic-hydrocarbon class.
What is the molecular formula of sec-hexadecylnaphthalene?
The molecular formula is C26H40 (CAS 94247-63-9). It is a cyclic hydrocarbon consisting of a naphthalene core substituted with a secondary hexadecyl (C16) alkyl group.
What is the HS code for sec-hexadecylnaphthalene?
It classifies under HS 2902.90 (Cyclic hydrocarbons: Other). Confirm the destination-country tariff line with your customs broker, as national subheadings can extend beyond the six-digit HS code.
Can sec-hexadecylnaphthalene be supplied in bulk?
Yes. RawSource supplies sec-hexadecylnaphthalene in drum, tote, and IBC quantities to manufacturers and lubricant formulators. Request a bulk quote with your target volume and packaging, and a CoA and SDS are available on request.
