  • Applications

    Tetradecyl isooctanoate (CAS 84878-27-3) is a long-chain ester commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing slip, conditioning feel, and improved texture in products such as lotions, creams, and makeup bases. In perfumery, it can serve as a carrier solvent for fragrance oils and may act as a lightweight fixative due to its relatively low volatility. It is also evaluated as a plasticizer or processing aid in certain polymers and coatings, where it can enhance flexibility, processing, and slip without introducing a strong odor. Additionally, it may function as an intermediate or solvent in industrial manufacturing and in formulated cleaners and household products, depending on regulatory and formulation constraints.
