Description
Colorless, aromatic hydrocarbon Solvent. Decahydronaphthalene is a very strong solvent that dissolves oils, fats, waxes, resins, and Rubber. It has been used as a substitute for turpentine, as a stain remover, and as a cleaning fluid. At one point, Decalin® was used as a varnish remover for oil paintings (Doerner 1934).
