  • Applications

    Trans-2-tetradecenoic acid (CAS 26444-03-1) is a 14-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid that is commonly used as a feedstock for the synthesis of fatty esters and surfactant-related compounds for detergents and cosmetics; it is also used as a precursor for industrial lubricants and oils and can be transformed into esters or other derivatives for plastics, coatings, and inks; furthermore, it often serves as an intermediate material for polymers and other industrial applications, depending on local regulations and formulation specifications.
