Description :

Overview of Diisobutylene

Diisobutylene is a mix of alkene-derived isomers, derived from dimerisation of isobutylene, and employed as a chemical intermediary or solvent in a variety of industrial applications. The material is known for its outstanding property of alkylation and hydrocarbons. Diisobutylene is widely used for the production of antioxidants and surfactants, as well as being an intermediate in various petrochemical processes.

It is an uncoloured liquid that has a mild odour of hydrocarbons. The mixture primarily contains 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene and 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene, with unique reactivity useful in alkylation and polymerisation reactions.

Similar products are Isobutylene, Diisobutyl Phthalate, as well as other industrial hydrocarbons that are used in the chemical industry.
