Decanal

  • Fragrances
  • CAS 112-31-2
  • IUPAC: decanal

No GHS hazard classification in the SDS for this product (CA-RTK disclosure only — no H-codes assigned to decanal at mixture level). At fragrance trace concentrations, no inhalation or skin hazard pathway is documented. Not an asthmagen or skin sensitizer at these levels.

Decanal (CAS 112-31-2) is a saturated aliphatic aldehyde with a characteristic fatty, floral, orange-peel scent. It is widely used as a trace fragrance ingredient in household and industrial cleaning products to contribute citrus top-notes to formulas that also contain orange oil or d-limonene. In the Adam's Trim Cleaner formula, decanal appears in the CA Right-to-Know ingredient disclosure (SDS §15) but is not listed with H-code assignments in SDS §3 or §2, consistent with its role as a trace fragrance constituent well below any GHS classification threshold. No health deductions are warranted at mixture concentrations.
