Nonadecane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)17CH3, simplified to C19H40.
Occurrence in nature Nonadecane is found in Rosa × damascena (8%–15%), Rosa × alba (7%–13%) and n-Paraffin rich high altitude hybrids of both (20%–55%).
Applications N-nonadecane has been the subject of research as a thermal energy storage medium. Nonadecane micro- and nanocapsules, and composites of the compound with other materials such as cement, have been investigated as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage.
