About C10

Long Description

C10 refers to hydrocarbons containing 10 carbon atoms (general formula: CH for alkanes like decane). It is typically found in petroleum fractions, fuels, solvents, and chemical intermediates. C10 compounds are part of middle distillates, sitting between lighter (C5C9) and heavier (C11+) hydrocarbons.

Key Specifications

• Carbon number: 10
• Chemical formula: CH (for decane)
• Boiling range: ~150175C
• State: Liquid at room temperature
• Density: ~0.730.75 g/cm
• Flammability: High (combustible)
• Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents

Applications

• Fuel blending (diesel, jet fuel components)
• Industrial solvents
• Paints, coatings, and adhesives
• Chemical intermediates
• Cleaning and degreasing agents

Function

• Acts as a fuel component for energy release
• Serves as a solvent for dissolving oils, resins, and chemicals
• Used as a feedstock in petrochemical processes

Benefits

• Good combustion properties
• Stable and less volatile than lighter hydrocarbons
• Effective solvent strength
• Widely available and cost-effective
