Tetradecane

Tetradecane (CAS 629-59-4) is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature with low volatility, a melting point of approximately 5.5 °C, and a boiling point of around 253–254 °C. It is a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon—specifically, a straight-chain alkane—and belongs to the paraffin series. Tetradecane serves primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers, and is used in the preparation of fatty alcohols and alkylbenzenes via oxidation or chlorination pathways. Its main application areas include industrial solvents, calibration standards in gas chromatography, and as a component in specialty formulations for coatings and polymer processing aids.
