Decanoic Acid CAS 334-48-5 Manufacturer | Capric Acid 99% | Zhishang Chem

Basic Info

Decanoic Acid (CAS Registry Number: 334-48-5), systematically designated as capric acid or n-capric acid, is a ten-carbon saturated medium-chain fatty acid derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil fractionation. Represented by the chemical formula C10H20O2, this compound presents as a white crystalline solid or clear molten liquid with a characteristic faint fatty odor.
 
At Shandong Zhishang Chem Co., Ltd., our Decanoic Acid is processed using continuous vacuum fractional distillation to achieve a minimum purity of 99.0%. Featuring a sharp solidification point and minimal C8/C12 homologue presence, Decanoic Acid serves as an indispensable building block in manufacturing synthetic ester lubricants, food flavorings, personal care surfactants, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Product Packaging

Decanoic Acid offers a versatile performance profile that makes it valuable across diverse industrial fields:
 
Synthetic Lubricants & Polyol Esters: Reacts with polyols (such as neopentyl glycol or trimethylolpropane) to produce high-performance jet engine lubricants, refrigeration oils, and synthetic automotive greases.
 
Flavors, Fragrances & Food Additives: Used as a precursor to synthesize ethyl decanoate, methyl decanoate, and other fruity aroma esters used in food flavoring, beverages, and perfume formulations.
 
Personal Care & Surfactant Intermediates: Precursor for manufacturing amine oxides, alkanolamides, and specialty esters used as emulsifiers, thickening agents, and skin-conditioning components.
 
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs): Used in pharmaceutical synthesis to prepare decanoate prodrug esters (such as nandrolone decanoate or haloperidol decanoate) for extended therapeutic release.

FAQ

A1: Decanoic Acid is a C10 saturated fatty acid with a melting point of ~31 degrees C, while Caprylic Acid is a C8 fatty acid with a lower melting point of ~16 degrees C. Decanoic Acid provides higher thermal viscosity when esterified into synthetic lubricants.

A2: Store in stainless steel or lined drums in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Because its melting point is ~31 degrees C, it may solidify at room temperature; gentle heating (40 to 45 degrees C) is recommended prior to pumping liquid volumes.

A3: Yes. Our Decanoic Acid is derived entirely from renewable palm kernel and coconut oils, completely free of animal-derived by-products, with Kosher and Halal certification available.

A4: We supply Decanoic Acid in 180 kg UN-approved plastic or steel drums, 25 kg multi-wall paper/PE bags (flaked form), and 900 kg IBC totes for liquid bulk shipments.

Quality Management & International Certifications

To support regulatory compliance and smooth international logistics for chemical distributors and formulators, Shandong Zhishang Chem maintains standardized quality control systems:
 
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Framework: Complete process tracking covering fatty acid hydrolysis, fractionating column operation, flaking, and drum filling.
 
EU REACH Registration Compliance: Full technical documentation dossiers available for European importers and chemical downstream users.
 
Kosher & Halal Compliance: 100% vegetable source derived from palm and coconut oil, fully meeting international dietary standards.
 
FEMA & Food Chemical Codex (FCC) Standards: Adheres to FEMA 2364 specifications for food-grade flavor composition and ester synthesis.
Controlling fatty acid chain distribution and maintaining a strict solidification point are essential for predictable performance in synthetic ester and surfactant production. Every batch of Decanoic Acid undergoes four internal quality testing steps prior to issuing the Certificate of Analysis:
 
Gas Chromatography Assay (GC-FID): Quantifies C10 carbon chain purity at or above 99.0% while verifying minimal residual presence of Caprylic Acid (C8 0.5% max) and Lauric Acid (C12 0.5% max).
 
Acid Value & Saponification Titration: Verifies total carboxylic acid concentration to guarantee precise stoichiometric reaction ratios during esterification.
 
Titer & Melting Point Verification: Measures thermal transition phase to ensure uniform behavior in liquid and flaked solid handlings.
 
Trace Heavy Metal & Color Profiling: Optical APHA testing (30 max) and ICP-OES trace metal screening to ensure high-grade suitability for cosmetics and food additives.
