  • Applications

    3-Tetradecenoic acid (CAS 6269-40-5) is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid commonly used as a chemical intermediate and feedstock for the synthesis of specialized esters and surfactants. In industry, it can be converted to fatty acid esters used as plasticizers and lubricants for polymers, coatings, and rubber; serves as a starting material for surfactant and cosmetic derivatives used in personal care products; is evaluated as a component in coating and ink formulations to tune drying, film formation, and performance; and can be used to generate specialty lubricants and other derivatives related to plastics and polymer processing. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
