Safety Data Sheet / MSDS

2-Hexylundecanoic acid

DCL0021 · 23 October 2026

Online safety information — compound-specific classification requires the current supplier-issued SDS.

1. Identification

2-Hexylundecanoic acid; catalog DCL0021; CAS 72056-18-9. Laboratory chemical synthesis and research. Supplier: DC Chemicals. Contact sales@dcchemicals.com. In an emergency contact local emergency services or a poison information center.

2. Hazard identification

A compound-specific GHS classification has not been established in this online information sheet. Do not interpret missing data as absence of hazards. Avoid ingestion, inhalation and skin or eye contact. Obtain the current supplier-issued SDS for the supplied lot.

3. Composition / information on ingredients

2-Hexylundecanoic acid; CAS 72056-18-9; formula C17H34O2; molecular weight 270.45. Purity specification: >95% by ELSD-HPLC. Impurity identities and concentrations are not specified.

4. First-aid measures

After inhalation, move to fresh air. After skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and wash with soap and water. After eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice. If swallowed, rinse the mouth and seek medical advice; do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Firefighters should use suitable protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. Thermal decomposition may release carbon oxides.

6. Accidental release measures

Ventilate the area and avoid contact. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Collect material using an inert absorbent or other suitable method and place in a closed waste container. Prevent release to drains.

7. Handling and storage

Handle with suitable laboratory ventilation. Avoid aerosol generation and contact with eyes or skin. Store tightly closed at −20 °C, protected from moisture, following the supplied label.

8. Exposure controls / personal protection

No compound-specific occupational exposure limit is supplied here. Wear chemical splash goggles, a laboratory coat and chemically compatible gloves selected for the solvent and task. Use suitable local ventilation.

9. Physical and chemical properties

Formula C17H34O2; molecular weight 270.45. Appearance, melting point, boiling point, flash point, density and quantitative solubility: not established in this record.

10. Stability and reactivity

Avoid strong oxidizing agents. As a carboxylic acid, the substance can react with bases and undergo derivatization. Specific decomposition temperature and compatibility data are not available.

11. Toxicological information

Compound-specific acute, chronic, sensitization, reproductive and carcinogenicity data have not been established in this record.

12. Ecological information

Aquatic toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation data are not available. Avoid environmental release.

13. Disposal considerations

Dispose of unused material, contaminated absorbents and packaging through an authorized chemical-waste route according to applicable local requirements.

14. Transport information

Transport classification has not been established in this record. Confirm carrier requirements using the current supplier-issued SDS before shipment.

15. Regulatory information

Regulatory inventories and local classification requirements have not been verified in this record. Research-use-only supply does not replace applicable regulatory obligations.

16. Other information

Prepared 23 October 2026 from the supplied product identity and general laboratory precautions. This online safety reference is not a compound-specific hazard assessment. Request the current supplier-issued SDS from sales@dcchemicals.com.
