  • Applications

    Nonacosan-14-ol (CAS 34394-12-2) is a long-chain fatty alcohol that is typically used as a waxy component in cosmetics and personal-care formulations; it also serves as a processing or slip agent in coatings, inks, and polymer processing; it can be a precursor for fatty ester surfactants and specialty lubricants in industrial manufacturing; in perfumery, it may function as a fragrance fixative due to its high molecular weight; and it is sometimes incorporated in household wax blends and polishes; use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
