FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is n-Decyl Alcohol the same as 1-Decanol?
A: Yes. n-Decyl Alcohol, 1-Decanol, decan-1-ol, capric alcohol and Alcohol C10 all refer to the straight-chain primary C10 alcohol CAS 112-30-1. Keep the n- or 1- prefix to distinguish it from branched decyl alcohol isomers. -
Q:
What are the key physical properties of 1-Decanol?
A: It is normally a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a mild fatty-alcohol odor. Its melting point is about 5-7 deg C, density is about 0.829 g/cm³ at 20 deg C, and boiling point is about 231 deg C, so it can solidify in cool storage. -
Q:
Which specifications should be checked for n-Decyl Alcohol?
A: Confirm GC purity, water content, color, acid value, distillation range and higher or lower alcohol homolog limits. Common high-purity material is about 99% or higher with low water, low acid value and light APHA color. -
Q:
What are the main uses of n-Decyl Alcohol?
A: It is used to make nonionic surfactants and emulsifiers, decyl esters and cold-resistant plasticizers, fragrance or personal-care ingredients, lubricant additives and specialty intermediates. The required homolog and impurity profile depends on the downstream chemistry. -
Q:
What should be considered for storage and bulk handling?
A: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, ventilated area away from heat and oxidizers. Because 1-decanol may solidify around 5-7 deg C, drums or tanks may need gentle warming before transfer; confirm moisture control, packaging and unloading before dispatch.
