Storage method
Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure the workshop has good ventilation. Keep away from fire. Store away from oxidizers. Store in iron, mild steel, copper or aluminum containers.
Iron drums are generally used, and large quantities can be shipped by tank trucks. Refined products can be packaged in glass bottles or tin cans. The storage tank should be grounded and flame arresters should be used to prevent fire. It should be protected from the sun and away from fire and heat sources. Stored and transported in accordance with general chemical regulations.
Product Use:
It is mainly used to prepare orange, lemon, coconut and assorted fruit flavors. GB 2760-96 is stipulated as a permissible spice.
Used in manufacturing surfactant, plasticizers, synthetic fibers, defoamers, herbicides,Lubricant additives and fragrances, and is also used as a solvent for inks, etc.
Trace amounts are used in the formulation of acacia, osmanthus, violet, red rose, orange blossom, yellow daffodil, iris, lilac, jasmine and sweet orange blossom. It can be used as a blending agent or modifier for linalool in low-grade floral formulations. Sometimes used for industrial deodorization or masking the bad smell of industrial products. at Flavors It can also be used in small amounts in cream, sweet orange, coconut, lemon and many fruity flavors.
Formulate soap and daily cosmetic fragrances. It occupies a very important position in C8-C18 alcohols and is used in rose floral essences. As citrus fruity flavors, it is used in beverages, candies, etc. The dosage (ppm) in food is as follows: ice cream 4.6, candy 5.2, chewing gum 3.0, drink 2.1. It shall not be used for purposes other than incense. Decanol is also polyvinyl chloride Raw materials for wire cladding materials and plasticizers (DIDP, DIDA) for high-grade artificial leather, raw materials for uranium refining, defoamers, surfactants, and solvents. In agriculture, it can be used as a solvent and stabilizer for herbicides, pesticides, and as a raw material for synthesis. It is used as a ripening agent for green fruits, and can also be used to control the germination of seeds such as ornamental plants and tobacco. It can also be used in oil drilling and secondary oil recovery.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is n-Decyl Alcohol (CAS 112-30-1) derived from natural or synthetic sources?
A: This product is chemically defined as the C10 straight-chain alcohol (C10H20O), available in industrial grades typically produced via the oligomerization of ethylene (Ziegler process) or hydrogenation of natural fatty acids, ensuring consistent chain-length distribution. -
Q:
What is the primary application of this alcohol in polymer industries?
A: It serves as the alcohol feedstock for synthesizing diesters like Di-decyl phthalate (DIDP) or polyacrylates, which function as durable plasticizers and flow modifiers in coating and plastic formulations.
