  • Applications

    8Z-tetradecenoic acid (CAS 62472-85-9) is used as a chemical building block to synthesize fatty acid esters and derivatives for cosmetics and personal care, where the esters can function as emollients and as fragrance ingredients. It also serves in fragrance chemistry as a precursor to aroma esters and related compounds for perfumery. In industrial manufacturing, its esters and derivatives act as plasticizers or processing aids in polymers, coatings, and inks. Additionally, the compound can be a starting point for surfactant-type derivatives used in cleaning products. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
