Description

Ethyl Tetradecanoate is a high-purity fatty acid ester, also known as ethyl myristate. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient, valued for its excellent solvent properties, emollient characteristics, and stability. It is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, fragrance, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for their formulations.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a solvent and fixative for fragrances, and as a flavoring agent in food-grade applications.
• Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a synthetic lubricant base oil and mold release agent in industrial processes.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed as a penetration enhancer and carrier in topical drug delivery systems.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or starting material for the production of other esters, surfactants, and specialty chemicals.
• Plasticizers: Used as a secondary plasticizer to improve flexibility and processing of polymers.
