Physicochemical Properties

Typical Applications

Typically used in:

• Phase Change Material (PCM) Formulations: Incorporated into thermal energy storage systems, functional textiles, and building materials for temperature regulation near room temperature.
• Chemical Intermediates: Used as a raw material or reactant in organic synthesis and industrial chemical manufacturing.
• Solvents and Carriers: Utilized as a specialized non-polar solvent or carrier fluid in industrial formulations and processes.
• Analytical Reference Materials: Employed in laboratory testing and calibration as a standard hydrocarbon component.

Packaging

Standard packaging includes sealed industrial steel drums or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers appropriate for liquid and solid alkanes. Bulk supply options are available upon request to match specific handling facilities.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Shield from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents. Follow standard local regulations for industrial hydrocarbon storage.

FAQ

What regulatory and technical documents accompany each shipment?

Every batch is supplied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying purity parameters, alongside updated Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).

Can Heptadecane be directly incorporated into polymer matrices for PCM applications?

Yes, Heptadecane is commonly microencapsulated or blended into polymer matrices, composite boards, and textiles to provide latent heat storage capabilities near its melting point.

Is this product suitable for high-temperature thermal storage systems?

No, Heptadecane is specific to low-temperature or ambient temperature regulation due to its phase transition phase point of approximately 21°C to 23°C.
