Myristyl Alcohol C14-98 - High-Purity Vegetable-Derived C14 Fatty Alcohol

Myristyl Alcohol C14-98 is a high-purity saturated C14 fatty alcohol chemically known as Tetradecan-1-ol. It has CAS number 112-72-1, EC/EINECS number 204-000-3 and molecular formula C₁₄H₃₀O. The C14-98 grade is designed to provide a predominantly C14 fatty-alcohol composition for cosmetic, personal-care and industrial formulation requirements.

Myristyl Alcohol can be produced from vegetable-oil-derived fatty materials, particularly lauric oils such as palm kernel and coconut oil. At normal room temperature it is typically a white waxy or crystalline solid, becoming a colorless liquid when heated above its approximately 36-39°C melting or solidification range.

Myristyl Alcohol is used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, viscosity modifier and emulsion stabilizer. It can contribute to softer skin feel while helping formulators control consistency, body and physical stability in creams, lotions, conditioners and related personal-care products.

Myristyl Alcohol can be used in cleansing systems, surfactant chemistry, specialty chemical intermediates and selected industrial formulations. Its high C14 content provides a consistent fatty-alcohol building block for downstream formulation and chemical-processing requirements.
