The BIMCO Liquid Cargo database is intended for use by for shore-side staff and to some extent for newcomers to the tanker trade and should only be used as a reference tool providing brief information regarding the more than 360 of the commonly transported liquid cargoes including Decyl Alcohol (All Isomers) Trade name/synonym names: Alcohol C10; 2-Propylheptan-1-ol; 1-Hydroxydecane; Alfol 10; Antak; Capric Alcohol; Caprinicalcohol; Conol 10N; Decanol; Epal 10; Nonylcarbinol; Royaltac; Sipol L 10; T 148; n-Decanol; n-Decyl Alcohol; 1-Decanol. Main Properties Decyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol with ten carbon atoms. Several isomers available. Obtain detailed cargo specifications from shipper. Colourless, water-white viscous liquid; sweet orange like odour Combustible. Main chemical and physical properties Flash point > 80 deg. C Boiling Points Boiling point range 220 - 240 deg. C Viscosity @ 20°C < 50 mPa.s Vapour pressure @ 20°C < 5 kPa (not suitable for ventilation) Density varies with isomer - 828 kg/m3 @ 20 deg. C for n-Decyl alcohol.
