CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | 1-octene appears as a colorless liquid. Flash point 70 °F. Insoluble in water and less dense (at about 6 lb / gal) than water. Hence floats on water. Vapors are heavier than air and may settle in depressions. Reported to biodegrade very slowly. Used in organic synthesis, surfactants, and plasticizers. |
