  • Applications

    Methyl (Z)-tetracos-15-enoate (CAS 2733-88-2) is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester typically used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery, and as an emollient and wax ester in cosmetics and personal care. It also serves as a lubricant and processing aid in industrial manufacturing, notably in polymer formulations and coatings/inks where it helps slip, gloss and formulation stability, and may act as a wax-blend additive. In coatings, inks and household products, it can function as a wax additive or conditioning agent for paints, polishes and cleaners. It may be evaluated as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, and its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
