China and Germany are the leading exporters of 1-Tetradecanol (CAS 112-72-1), accounting for a substantial share of global shipments, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the largest importers. These countries consistently dominate trade flows, reflecting established demand in surfactant, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors. Recent years show relative stability in export volumes from top suppliers, though fluctuations in 1-Tetradecanol prices have accompanied shifts in regional import demand, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.
1-Tetradecanol is a white, waxy solid at room temperature with a faint, characteristic fatty odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 37–39 °C and a boiling point of around 296 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is a straight-chain primary aliphatic alcohol and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and esters—including myristyl alcohol derivatives used in personal care formulations and industrial lubricants. Its main application areas include cosmetics, detergents, textile auxiliaries, and polymer additives, where it contributes to viscosity control, emulsion stability, and surface activity.
As emollient for cold creams, etc., also for making the sulfated alcohol whose sodium salt is applicable as a "wetter" in textiles.
Myristyl alcohol occurs as a white crystalline solid with a waxyodor. Also reported as opaque leaflets or crystals from ethanol.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals. See more about what is 1-Tetradecanol and 1-Tetradecanol SDS information.
