  • Applications

    3,6,10-Trimethyltetradecane (CAS 146367-86-4) is a branched C14 aliphatic hydrocarbon used as a non-polar solvent and diluent in a range of formulations; in perfumery and cosmetics it can function as a carrier hydrocarbon and may also act as a low-volatility fixative to influence fragrance longevity; in coatings and inks it provides a low-evaporation diluent to help control rheology and drying characteristics; in cleaning products and degreasers it serves as a hydrocarbon solvent for solubilizing non-polar soils.
