Decahydronaphthalene CAS No: 91-17-8 C10H18

Core Applications

‌1. High-Performance Industrial Solvent‌: As a high-boiling-point inert solvent, it is used to dissolve and dilute oils, resins, rubber, asphalt, and cellulose. Suitable for applications such as paint stripping and metal degreasing and cleaning, it offers strong solubility and leaves minimal volatilization residues, making it an excellent substitute for turpentine.

2. Fine Chemical Extraction Medium: Used for the purification and separation of natural products and fine organic compounds. It offers good selectivity and is easily recovered and recycled. It is suitable for medium- to high-temperature closed-system extraction conditions, ensuring system stability without interference from side reactions.

3. New Materials and Research Applications: Used as a high-temperature heat transfer medium and a powder dispersion aid, as well as a standard reagent for bicyclic saturated alkanes. It is employed in the study of alicyclic hydrocarbon structures and solvent oxidation stability experiments, and serves as a common reagent in organic chemistry laboratory courses at universities.

‌4. Industrial Additives and Fuel Formulation‌: It can be used in the production and formulation of shoe polish and floor wax; it can also be blended with benzene and ethanol as a component of internal combustion engine fuel; furthermore, it serves as a lubricant for certain precision machinery.

 Storage Requirements

‌1. General Environment‌: Store in a sealed container in a dedicated hazardous chemicals warehouse at 2–30°C, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Maintain relative humidity below 60%. Keep strictly away from open flames, high-temperature heat sources, and sparks, and avoid direct sunlight.

‌2. Safety Controls‌: Prolonged exposure to air can cause this substance to form unstable, explosive peroxides; it must be stored in a sealed container, completely isolated from oxygen, at all times. Leaving the container open for extended periods is strictly prohibited. The storage facility must be equipped with explosion-proof lighting and ventilation systems; the use of equipment or tools that may generate sparks is prohibited. It must be strictly separated from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids; mixed storage and transportation are strictly prohibited.
