description Product Description
Used as a standard in gas chromatography due to its well-defined boiling point and stability. Serves as a model compound in combustion studies, especially in diesel fuel research, because of its long hydrocarbon chain resembling components of diesel. Employed in environmental studies to simulate oil spills and assess biodegradation of alkanes. Also used as a solvent or diluent in industrial applications and in the formulation of calibration mixtures for analytical instruments.
