  • Applications

    3-Methylnonacosane (CAS 14167-67-0) is a high-molecular-weight branched alkane that is typically used as a non-polar diluent and component in hydrocarbon-based formulations. In industry it serves as a base stock and component of paraffin waxes and related wax formulations, contributing to texture and processing properties. It is employed as a processing oil/diluent in coatings, inks, and adhesives, helping achieve the desired viscosity and film formation. In cosmetics and personal care, it can function as an emollient and hydrocarbon carrier in wax-rich formulations. It may also serve as a heavy hydrocarbon solvent or carrier in cleaning and polishing formulations, and as a processing aid in plastics and polymers to modulate softness and processing behavior. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
