tetradecyl benzoate

Description:
Tetradecyl benzoate is an ester formed from the reaction of tetradecanol and benzoic acid. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic tetradecyl chain, which contributes to its properties as a surfactant and emulsifier. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. Tetradecyl benzoate is known for its low volatility and good solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and as a lubricant. Its chemical structure imparts a degree of hydrophobicity, which enhances its ability to reduce surface tension in formulations. Additionally, it exhibits good thermal stability and is generally considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in formulations intended for skin contact. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, particularly under acidic or basic conditions. Overall, tetradecyl benzoate is valued for its functional properties in enhancing the texture and stability of various products.
