1 10-Decanediol (CAS 112-47-0): A Practical Buyer's Guide for Chemical Procurement

1 10-Decanediol

The Wrong Purity Spec for the Right Application

A pharmaceutical excipient buyer in Japan ordered 1 10-Decanediol (CAS 112-47-0) quoting ‘industrial grade.‘ The price was attractive. The purity was 99%. What the quote didn’t include: no specification for endotoxin levels, microbial contamination, or heavy metals — all three of which were in their excipient specification.
 
Pharmaceutical-grade reagents cost more. They’re not interchangeable with technical-grade, even at the same purity percentage.

Quality Parameters by Application

For technical/industrial use: GC purity, water content, color (APHA), and density.
 
For pharmaceutical excipient or API synthesis: add USP/EP/JP grade specification, endotoxin limits, heavy metals, residual solvents per ICH Q3C, and microbiological testing.
 
1 10-Decanediol is available in all tiers from qualified manufacturers. Make sure you’re buying the right one.
