  • Applications

    Decyltetradecanoic acid (CAS 93778-52-0) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid commonly used as a starting material and intermediate for synthesizing fatty ester surfactants and lubricant esters, enabling formulations for detergents and household cleaners as well as industrial lubricants. In cosmetics and personal care, its esters can function as emollients or conditioning agents. In polymers and plastics processing, it or its esters may act as lubricity additives or plasticizers to improve processability and end-use performance. In coatings and inks, it can be used as a waxy component to adjust slip and surface finish. Overall, use is formulation- and regulation-dependent, and specific applications should be validated under local regulations.
