Tetradecane (also designated as n-tetradecane, CAS Number 629-59-4) is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C14H30. Characterized by its remarkable chemical stability, non-corrosive behavior, and predictable phase-change thermodynamic properties, high-purity n-tetradecane has evolved from a basic industrial solvent into a critical material in advanced thermal energy storage (TES), microencapsulation, precision organic synthesis, and eco-friendly personal care formulations.
As a leading China Tetradecane CAS factory supplier, JIMPOCHEM provides certified purities ranging from 98% industrial grade up to ≥99.5% ultra-pure gas chromatography (GC) grade. Our production methodology utilizes state-of-the-art fractional distillation technology combined with catalytic hydrogenation, eliminating aromatic impurities and sulfur compounds to ensure optimal performance in thermal stabilization and sensory application metrics.

Unpacking the shift toward eco-solvents, phase-change energy storage solutions, and net-zero green chemical processes.
The global market for straight-chain paraffinic hydrocarbons, specifically n-Tetradecane (CAS 629-59-4), is undergoing a structural transition. Driven by stringent environmental regulations limiting Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and halogenated solvents, global procurement managers are increasingly pivoting toward high-purity alkanes due to their bio-degradability, non-toxicity, and exceptional thermodynamic stability.
With a phase change melting point of ~6°C and a high latent heat enthalpy (~226 kJ/kg), Tetradecane serves as an indispensable active thermal core for cold-chain vaccine transport, building climate control, and electronic battery thermal management.
Cosmetic formulators are replacing volatile D4/D5 cyclomethicones with ultra-refined alkanes like Tetradecane. It offers a light, non-greasy skin feel, fast spreading rates, and complete safety compliance in organic skin care formulations.
The push toward carbon-neutral chemistry has accelerated research into bio-derived Tetradecane produced via hydro-processed renewable lipids (HVO) and synthetic biology pathways, positioning China factories at the center of supply chain evolution.
Integrated chemical performance engineered for demanding downstream operations.
As an established China Tetradecane supplier, JIMPOCHEM tailors purity profiles and structural formulations to fulfill precise commercial requirements across diverse sectors:
n-Tetradecane serves as an ideal organic PCM for thermal control systems requiring constant phase transitions near 5.8°C–6°C. It is widely microencapsulated into polymeric shells for smart textiles, cold-chain transport panels, and chilled-water building HVAC energy-saving units.
Utilized as a high-purity emollient, bio-solvent, and spreading agent in skin care, makeup removers, and hair treatment oils. It presents excellent solubilization capability for active lipophilic compounds without causing comedogenic buildup or dermal irritation.
Acts as an inert, high-boiling hydrophobic reaction medium, extraction solvent, or reference standard in chromatographic testing (GC/HPLC). Its consistent physical structure prevents side-reactions during intense organic synthesis steps.
Due to its high dielectric breakdown strength, low electrical conductivity, and stability across temperature variations, ultra-pure Tetradecane is implemented in specialized immersion cooling fluids and electronic component degreasing formulations.
Functions as a low-volatility solvent carrier in high-speed offset printing inks and industrial protective coatings, regulating evaporation rates and improving pigment wetting without destabilizing resin binders.
Employed as a processing aid, internal lubricant, and soft paraffinic plasticizer in rubber processing, reducing viscosity during extrusion and enhancing elastomeric flexible endurance.
Full-batch chemical traceability backed by advanced analytical instrumentation.
