C8-C10 Alcohol

Capric-decyl alcohol is a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature, slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. Its physical properties lie between those of octanol and decanol. Due to its carbon chain characteristics, it plays a key role in multiple industrial sectors, particularly in surfactants and plasticizers. The future trend toward green chemistry will further expand its applications.

Stability and Storage Conditions
Storage Conditions: Capric-decyl alcohol should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, as heat may cause volatilization, oxidation, or decomposition, affecting its quality. It should be kept in sealed containers to prevent exposure to oxygen, moisture, and impurities from the air, thereby slowing oxidation and degradation. Additionally, it should be stored separately from other chemicals to avoid cross-contamination or unintended chemical reactions.
Shelf Life: 2 years (unopened)
