  • Applications

    5-Methyldecane (CAS 13151-35-4) is a branched C11 saturated hydrocarbon primarily used as a nonpolar solvent and diluent in industrial formulations. In coatings, finishes, and inks, it often serves as a solvent component or processing diluent; in industrial cleaning and degreasing formulations, it provides solvency for oils and residues; in lubricants and thickening agents, it can function as a base oil or additive to enhance lubricity; in polymer processing and adhesive manufacture, it is used as a processing solvent and blending agent; and it may serve as a feedstock or input in petrochemical processing.
