  • Applications

    Heptacosan-14-ol (CAS 32116-10-2) is a long-chain fatty alcohol (C27) used primarily as a waxy emollient and thickener in cosmetics and personal care; serves as an intermediate for fragrance esters and flavor/fragrance formulations; functions as a waxy component or texturing agent in household cleaning and surface-care products; may act as a processing lubricant in industrial manufacturing and as a precursor for polymer additives such as plasticizers or slip agents; can be used as a wax additive in coatings, inks, and related formulations to improve gloss and water resistance.
