  • Applications

    Cyclodecane (CAS 293-96-9) is primarily used as a non-polar solvent and reaction medium in organic synthesis, where it can serve as a diluent for high-temperature processes. It is commonly employed as a processing solvent or diluent in coatings, inks, and adhesives formulations to help adjust viscosity and pot life. In polymer and plastics manufacturing, it can function as a processing aid or carrier to facilitate mixing and transport of additives. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other cyclic hydrocarbons or functionalized products. Additionally, it may be used as a reference solvent or calibration standard in analytical laboratories for non-polar hydrocarbon analysis, with use governed by formulation limits and local regulations.
