  • Applications

    Tetradecyl benzoate (CAS 70682-72-3) is a long-chain fatty alkyl benzoate commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and solvent, providing slip and a non-greasy feel in lotions, creams, and lip formulations. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils, aiding dissolution and dispersion of aroma compounds. In coatings, inks, and related finishes, it can act as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve flow, leveling, and film properties. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as a lubricant additive or processing aid and may function as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other benzoate esters.
