Isodecyl Alcohol
Effective Solvation Capacity: Demonstrates strong dissolution capability for lipids and resinous materials, making it suitable for cosmetic formulations and industrial cleaning applications.
Inherent Hydrophobicity and Low Volatility: Exhibits water-resistant characteristics combined with minimal vapor pressure, ensuring formulation stability in waterproof products such as solar protection creams.
Broad Thermal Resilience: Maintains chemical integrity across extended temperature ranges, enabling utilization in both high-temperature processing and cryogenic applications.
Controlled Handling Protocols: While demonstrating reduced flammability hazards, requires storage under controlled temperature conditions with standard safety measures for organic solvent handling.
Isodecyl Alcohol (C₁₀H₂₂O) is a saturated branched-chain fatty alcohol defined by its hydrophobic characteristics, low vapor pressure, and effective solvation properties. This compound demonstrates extensive utilization across multiple industrial sectors, including chemical synthesis, personal care formulations, and specialized manufacturing processes.
