Product Description:

Trans-Decalin (trans-Decahydronaphthalene, CAS 493-02-7) is a saturated bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of two fused cyclohexane rings in a trans configuration. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. Its cis isomer counterpart is also known, but the trans form is more stable and commonly used. Its primary application is as a high-boiling, non-polar organic solvent in industrial and research settings. It is particularly valued in polymer chemistry for dissolving and processing high-molecular-weight polymers, resins, and waxes. It also serves as a reaction medium in various chemical syntheses and as a component in specialty lubricants and heat transfer fluids. Due to its low volatility and good solvent power, it finds use in the formulation of paints, coatings, and adhesives. However, it is flammable and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested, requiring proper handling and ventilation in industrial environments.
