Description

3-Phenyldecane is a high-purity, branched-chain alkylbenzene compound, identified by CAS NO 4621-36-7. This specialty organic intermediate is valued for its hydrophobic phenylalkane structure, which provides unique solvating and compatibility properties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance, lubricant additive, and advanced polymer synthesis sectors for its role in modifying physical characteristics and enhancing product performance.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Serves as a long-lasting, non-polar solvent and fixative base for high-end perfumes and aromatic compositions.
• Lubricant and Grease Formulation: Acts as a synthetic base oil or performance additive to improve thermal stability and reduce volatility in specialized lubricants.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Used as a plasticizer or compatibilizer to enhance the flexibility and processing of certain engineering plastics and elastomers.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for introducing specific lipophilic (fat-soluble) groups into target molecules.
• Specialty Cleaning Formulations: Employed as a component in industrial degreasers and precision cleaners where a controlled evaporation rate is required.
