clear colorless to yellow liquid | [Description]
Isodecanoic acid is produced by oxidizing the
mixture of aldehydes obtained from tripropylene
in the oxo process. It is used in drying agents, PVC
stabilizers, and alkyd resins; the copper salt is a
wood preservative. Isodecanoic acid may be
replaced by versatic acid 10 or neodecanoic acid. | [storage]
Store at -20°C |
