About Capric acid, 98%

Capric acid (CAS 334-48-5) is a carboxylic acid offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade, specified at 98% purity. Its molecular formula is C10H20O2 and its molecular weight is 172.26 g/mol. The IUPAC name is decanoic acid. Alternative names: 1-Nonanecarboxylic acid and Acid C10.

In its supplied form it is a colourless to pale yellow liquid / solid (due to melting point). Literature values give a melting point of 27-32 °C and a density of 0.893 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include fine chemical synthesis, food and flavour applications and cosmetics and personal care. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and food and beverage processing.

We offer Capric acid in 500 mL, 5 L and 180 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
