Description

2-Tetradecanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol with a defined molecular structure, offering consistent performance as a versatile chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its role in synthesizing specialized surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers, where its chain length provides optimal hydrophobic and emollient properties. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable quality and supply chain stability for their formulations.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Serves as a key hydrophobic feedstock for producing non-ionic surfactants like ethoxylates, used in detergents and industrial cleaners.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth skin feel.
• Lubricant & Plasticizer Production: Used to manufacture synthetic esters and derivatives that function as high-performance lubricant base stocks and polymer plasticizers.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Employed as a precursor or a fixative in the synthesis of certain aroma chemicals.
• Chemical Intermediate: A fundamental building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and material science research.
