  • Applications

    Chemical name: 3-(Tetradecyloxy)propan-1-ol; CAS number: 63793-60-2. It behaves as a nonionic surfactant with a long hydrophobic tail and a terminal hydroxyl group, enabling use as an emulsifier and co-solvent in multiple formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it can function as an emulsifier, surfactant, and conditioning aid in cleansers, shampoos, and skin-care emulsions. In household and industrial cleaning products, it acts as a wetting agent and dispersant to aid soil removal and stabilize emulsions. In coatings and inks, it can serve as a surfactant or co-solvent to improve pigment dispersion and film formation. As an intermediate, it can be used to synthesize polyether derivatives or as a building block for specialty polymers in industrial manufacturing. It may also serve as a processing aid or solvent in polymer processing and formulation work, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
