Caprylic/Decyl Alcohol
CAS# 68603-15-6; Formula: C8/10H2n+1OH; n=6,8
CO-810 is a mixture of Caprylic (C8, 56-64%) and Cetyl (C10,
35-43%) alcohols; ‘n’ in the structural diagram above refers to
the different carbon chain lengths present, from C6 up to C12.
It is a clear liquid under ambient conditions with a fishy alcohol
odor.

Oil Derivation/Allergen/BSE/Microbial:
All of our fatty alcohol brands are produced in P&G Chemi-
cals’ global fatty alcohol network. They are manufactured
entirely from naturally occurring vegetable oils.
• No preservatives or additives are present.
• No gluten/wheat, corn, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, sulfites,
yeast, starch, MSG, peanut, other nut, rice, sugar, or
sodium potential allergens are present.
• Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Transmis-
sible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) are not a con-
cern with CO-810, Caprylic/Decyl Alcohol.
• At the low vacuum (12-18 mmHg) and high tempera-
ture (up to 550 degF) at which our process operates, we
do not believe that microbiological activities exist.
Shelf Life
Shelf life is affected by how a product is stored. P&G
Chemicals has conducted extensive stability study tests for
our NF Fatty Alcohols. For this reason, P&G Chemicals only
provides shelf life for NF Alcohols for which a stability study
has been conducted. For all other Alcohol and Related
products,
