  • Applications

    1-Chlorodecane (CAS 1002-69-3) is a long-chain alkyl halide that serves primarily as an organic synthesis intermediate. In industry, it acts as an alkylating agent to prepare long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactants (quats) used as functional surfactants in detergents, cleaners, and disinfectant formulations. It also serves as a building block for decyl derivatives such as amines and esters, enabling applications in coatings, inks, and polymer formulations where a long decyl chain provides hydrophobic character and compatibility. Additionally, it can be used as a reactive intermediate in the manufacture of specialty lubricant additives, surface modifiers, and other polymer-related products requiring introduction of a C10 alkyl group. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
