Tetradecane
Description
Tetradecane (CAS 629-59-4 ) is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon used as a carrier fluid, lubricant base, and reference standard across multiple industrial sectors. Its controlled volatility and chemical stability make it a practical choice for formulators and process engineers requiring a defined hydrocarbon fraction for various industrial uses. In personal care and cosmetics, it functions as a lightweight emollient carrier and spreading agent in skin-feel formulations, helping to deliver active ingredients without heavy residue. Lubricant and metalworking formulators incorporate it as a base fluid or diluent where a well-characterized, narrow-boiling hydrocarbon fraction is required for specific performance. In food-contact and flavor research applications, it serves as a solvent matrix and GC reference standard for aroma compound analysis and other sensitive laboratory testing procedures. It also appears in dispersion and emulsification systems where a low-polarity hydrocarbon phase is needed to stabilize oil-in-water or water-in-oil formulations effectively. The product is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in packaging ranging from laboratory quantities to bulk drums to meet the diverse needs of global manufacturing facilities. Purity grades available commercially include reagent-grade and high-purity analytical standards, with food-grade and technical-grade options depending on the intended application and use.
