Product Overview

n-Decane is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon that serves as a critical component in various industrial and laboratory settings. As a saturated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C10H22, this chemical is renowned for its stability and consistent physical properties. Our manufacturing process ensures that every batch meets rigorous international standards, making it an ideal choice for professionals requiring reliable performance in complex chemical environments. We specialize in supplying high-grade n-Decane to sectors ranging from pharmaceutical research to fuel calibration.

Our facility employs advanced distillation and purification technologies to achieve assay levels exceeding 98.0 percent. This high level of purity minimizes interference in sensitive analytical procedures and ensures reproducible results in synthetic pathways. Whether used as a non-polar solvent or a reference standard, our n-Decane delivers the consistency demanded by modern scientific and industrial applications.

Key Specifications

Quality control is paramount in our production line. Each drum is tested against strict parameters to guarantee compliance with safety and performance metrics. The following table outlines the typical physical and chemical properties of our premium n-Decane supply.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of n-Decane makes it indispensable across multiple sectors. In organic synthesis, it acts as an inert solvent medium for reactions requiring non-polar environments. Its thermal stability allows it to withstand elevated temperatures without degradation, which is crucial for high-temperature synthesis protocols. Additionally, researchers utilize n-Decane as a standard in gas chromatography for calibrating retention times due to its well-defined boiling point and volatility profile.

In the energy sector, n-Decane is frequently employed in fuel research and development. It serves as a surrogate component in diesel fuel studies, helping engineers understand combustion characteristics and emission profiles. Its consistent quality ensures that experimental data reflects true performance metrics rather than variations in solvent purity. Furthermore, it is used in the extraction processes where non-polar solvents are required to isolate specific organic compounds from complex mixtures.

Storage and Handling

Safety is a priority when handling flammable hydrocarbons. n-Decane should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The recommended storage temperature is room temperature, and containers must be kept tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, so segregation from such materials is essential to prevent hazardous reactions.
