n- Tetradecane About
n-Tetradecane, CAS No. 629-59-4, molecular formula CH, is a high-purity saturated straight-chain alkane. At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent, oily liquid with a slight waxy odor. It is highly pure, low in impurities, stable, non-corrosive, insoluble in water, and well-miscible with various organic and hydrocarbon solvents. It possesses excellent solubility, flowability, and thermal stability.
The product has a moderate boiling point, low volatility, and a relatively high flash point, making it safer for storage and transportation than light alkane solvents. It exhibits excellent batch stability, pure color, and is low in sulfur and aromatics, meeting the standards for general industrial and precision laboratory use. Regular products can achieve a purity of over 99%, while chromatographic grade specifications can meet ultra-high purity requirements of 99.8%, making it a standardized hydrocarbon reference material and a high-end industrial solvent.
It is widely used in gas chromatography standard substances, organic synthesis intermediates, precision instrument cleaning solvents, ink and coating additives, drilling lubricants, heat transfer oil formulations, pesticide adjuvants, and cosmetic skin moisturizing and conditioning raw materials. The product should be stored in a sealed, light-proof, cool, and dry place, away from oxidants. It is suitable for conventional industrial warehousing and compliant transportation, ensuring stable supply. It is suitable for production and R&D use in reagent, fine chemical, daily chemical, and petroleum additive industries.
