  • Applications

    6-Methyltetradecane (CAS 26730-16-5) is a non-polar hydrocarbon typically used as a solvent and diluent in industrial formulations, aiding the processing of coatings, inks, and adhesive systems. It can serve as a processing solvent or diluent in polymer and plastics manufacturing, and as a component in hydrocarbon-based lubricants and related additives. It is employed in cleaning and degreasing formulations as a hydrocarbon solvent, and can function as a carrier or solvent for resins and additives in coatings and inks. Its use is formulation- and regulation-dependent.
