Product Overview

1-Decanol is a high-purity, straight-chain fatty alcohol widely used in laboratory applications due to its excellent solvent properties and low volatility. This colorless liquid offers a mild, pleasant odor, making it suitable for fragrance research and formulation studies. With a boiling point of 232.9°C and a density of 0.83 g/cm³, it provides stable performance in organic synthesis reactions. The laboratory-grade 1-decanol is meticulously purified to ensure minimal impurities, delivering consistent results in surfactant production and chemical analysis. Its hydrophobic nature allows for effective use in emulsion systems and as a non-polar solvent. The reagent comes in a secure, leak-proof container to maintain purity during storage and handling. This versatile alcohol serves as a key building block in esterification reactions and as a reference standard in chromatographic applications. The 100ml packaging offers convenient handling for small-scale experiments while maintaining cost efficiency for research laboratories.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1-decanol when stored properly?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, unopened 1-decanol maintains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this 1-decanol be used as a substitute for other long-chain alcohols in reactions?

Yes, 1-decanol can replace other C10 alcohols in most applications, though slight adjustments to reaction conditions may be needed due to its specific carbon chain length and hydroxyl group position.

3. What type of container material is compatible with 1-decanol for long-term storage?

Glass or HDPE containers are most suitable for storing 1-decanol, as these materials resist degradation from the alcohol and prevent contamination.

4. Does this 1-decanol contain any stabilizers or additives?

This laboratory-grade 1-decanol is supplied without added stabilizers or preservatives to maintain its purity for analytical applications.

5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling 1-decanol?

Use in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles, and avoid skin contact as it may cause mild irritation upon prolonged exposure.
