  • Applications

    Tetradecyloctadecanol (CAS 32582-32-4) is used mainly as a long-chain fatty alcohol ingredient in cosmetics and personal care, acting as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent; in the plastics and polymers industries it often serves as a lubricant and softening aid to improve processing, slip, and surface quality of plastic systems; in coatings and inks it is employed as a wax-like additive to adjust rheology, gloss, and water resistance; in industrial manufacturing it can be an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty esters and can function as a processing or thermal-stability additive. Applications depend on local regulations and formulation limits.
