China and India are the leading exporters of Tetradecyl benzoate (CAS 70682-72-3), accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Tetradecyl benzoate prices have remained relatively stable amid moderate demand growth from cosmetics and specialty chemical sectors. Export volumes from China have increased steadily since 2022, while Indian exports have plateaued, and U.S. imports have risen modestly—reflecting continued reliance on Asian suppliers for this specialty ester.
Tetradecyl benzoate is a colorless to pale yellow, low-volatility liquid at room temperature, typically odorless or with a faint ester-like odor; it has a melting point near 15–20 °C and a boiling point above 300 °C. It is an aromatic ester formed from benzoic acid and tetradecanol, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Its primary industrial use is as a synthetic intermediate in the production of specialty surfactants, lubricant additives, and functional plasticizers. It finds application in high-performance coatings, polymer modifiers, and certain cosmetic formulations where ester-based emolliency and stability are required.
