Introduction
1-Decyol, also known as undecyl alcohol, is a colorless and transparent liquid. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of 1-decanol:Quality:- Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid- Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in waterUse:- Industrial Applications: 1-Decanol is a solvent commonly used in industrial applications such as coatings, cleaning agents, dyes, plasticizers, lubricants, plastics, inks, and adhesives. It is also used as a fragrance, preservative, and mildew inhibitor.Preparation method:1-Decanol can be prepared by the reduction reaction of long-chain fatty acids such as capric acid. The specific step is to convert capric acid to 1-decanol through a hydrogenation reaction, and then refine and purify it under appropriate conditions.Safety Information:- 1-Decanol is generally less toxic, but appropriate protective measures should still be taken.- When using and storing 1-decanol, it should be environmentally friendly, away from fire and high temperatures, and well ventilated.- 1-Decanol is flammable, avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and ignition sources in case of fire or explosion.
Application
Decyl alcohol (CAS 112-30-1), also known as 1-decanol, is a straight-chain fatty alcohol with a sweet, waxy, and citrus-like odor. It is widely used as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetics, lotions, creams, and hair care products, where it provides smoothness and non-greasy hydration. In the fragrance industry, it serves as a fixative and blending agent for floral, citrus, and woody notes. As a plasticizer and lubricant, decyl alcohol is incorporated into PVC, rubber, and industrial coatings to improve flexibility and processing. It also functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents. In the flavor industry, it imparts a fatty, coconut-like nuance to beverages and dairy products (FEMA 2365). Additionally, decyl alcohol is used as a solvent for oils, resins, and printing inks. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity decyl alcohol with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
