  • Applications

    Chemical name: Tetradecyloctadecyl Myristate; CAS number: 231627-81-9. Tetradecyloctadecyl Myristate is a long-chain fatty ester widely used as an emollient and conditioning ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, providing slip and a smooth feel on skin and hair, while forming an occlusive moisturizing film. It is commonly employed as a thickener/texture enhancer in creams, lotions, lip products, and hair-care formulations to improve spreadability and tactile feel. In polymer and coating applications, it can act as a plasticizer or lubricity additive, imparting flexibility to films and reducing tack during processing. As a fatty-ester lubricant, it is also used as a slipping and processing aid in specialty coatings, inks, and adhesives formulations to facilitate handling and application. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
