2-Decanol (Secondary Decyl Alcohol)
2-Decanol is an isomer of decyl alcohol where the hydroxyl group is attached to the second carbon of a 10-carbon chain, making it a secondary saturated acyclic alcohol. Classified under HTS 2905.19.90.10 as a decyl alcohol isomer per the subheading specification. Used in fragrance compounds and as a solvent intermediate.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains cyclic alcohol impurities >5%
Presence of cyclic structures excludes it from acyclic alcohols heading 2905, moving to cyclic alcohols
If supplied as prepared additive for inks or coatings
Formulations put up for specific industrial uses fall under prepared chemical binders per exclusions
If incorrectly declared as octyl alcohol (C8)
Carbon chain length determines specific subheading within saturated monohydric alcohols

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm isomer specification via NMR or GC-MS analysis to distinguish from primary decanols
• Ship under proper flammable liquid regulations (flash point ~82°C)
• Include SDS showing <1% water content to avoid mixture classification

1-Decanol (n-Decyl Alcohol)
1-Decanol is a straight-chain saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol with the formula C10H21OH, consisting of a 10-carbon chain with a hydroxyl group at one end. It falls under HTS 2905.19.90.10 as a chemically defined saturated acyclic alcohol, specifically decyl alcohol without further derivatives. Primarily used as a chemical intermediate in surfactants and lubricants.
4-Decanol Isomer
4-Decanol is a specific isomer of decyl alcohol with the OH group on the fourth carbon position in a linear C10 chain, qualifying as a saturated monohydric acyclic alcohol. It matches HTS 2905.19.90.10 for decyl alcohol and its isomers, distinct from other chain lengths. Employed in specialty chemical synthesis and flavor production.
Decyl Alcohol Technical Grade 95%
Technical grade decyl alcohol contains at least 95% decyl isomers (primarily 1-decanol), meeting Chapter 29 requirements for chemically defined organic compounds with allowable impurities. Falls under HTS 2905.19.90.10 as specified decyl alcohol for industrial applications like plasticizers.
Iso-Decanol (Branched C10 Alcohol)
Iso-decanol refers to branched isomers of decyl alcohol, such as 6-methyl-2-nonanol, remaining acyclic saturated monohydric alcohols. Classified in HTS 2905.19.90.10 due to C10 carbon equivalence and isomer status. Used in synthetic lubricants and as antifoam agents.
Mixed Decyl Alcohols (1- & 2- Decanol Blend)
Mixture containing primarily 1-decanol and 2-decanol isomers (total >98% C10 alcohols) qualifies as chemically defined under Chapter 29 when isomers of same compound. HTS 2905.19.90.10 applies specifically to decyl alcohol isomers. Common in detergent alcohol production.
Oxo-Decanol Process Alcohol
Oxo-decanol produced via hydroformylation of nonene followed by hydrogenation yields primarily branched decyl alcohols. Still classified as acyclic saturated monohydric C10 alcohols under HTS 2905.19.90.10. Key raw material for oxo-alcohol derivatives in plastics.
