Description

Alkanes, C10-18 CAS NO 73138-29-1 is a defined mixture of saturated, straight-chain hydrocarbons, primarily decane through octadecane. This blend is valued for its chemical inertness, consistent boiling range, and excellent solvency properties, making it a versatile intermediate and base fluid. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring high-purity, non-reactive hydrocarbon streams for synthesis, formulation, and processing.

Application

• As a solvent and diluent in industrial coatings, adhesives, and ink formulations.
• As a reaction medium and extraction solvent in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis.
• As a base fluid and plasticizer in the production of polymers, elastomers, and specialty lubricants.
• As a standard and reference material in analytical laboratories for chromatography and calibration.
• As a raw material for the manufacture of linear alkylbenzenes (LAB) and other surfactant intermediates.
• As a carrier fluid in agricultural and specialty chemical formulations.
