Product Performance & Features

Excellent Chemical Stability

Features a saturated straight-chain alkane structure. It is highly resistant to oxidation and acid-base reactions at room temperature, ensuring stable storage and a long shelf life without deterioration.

Moderate Evaporation Rate & Low Odor

Evaporates slower than low-carbon alkanes and is free from harsh or pungent odors, making it ideal for formulations with strict odor requirements.

Outstanding Solubility

Effectively dissolves paraffin wax, resins, and various oils. It offers a balanced dissolving power and excellent formulation compatibility.

Phase Change Energy Storage Properties

Features a suitable phase change temperature and high heat storage capacity, serving as a mature organic phase change material (PCM) base.

Ultra-low Sulfur & Aromatics

Refined-grade products contain extremely low levels of aromatics and heavy metals, making them perfectly suited for daily chemical applications and laboratory testing.

Application Areas

1. Phase Change Energy Storage Materials

Used in radiant floor heating energy storage, temperature-controlled clothing, battery thermal management, building wall insulation, and as a heat transfer medium for constant-temperature equipment. It relies on solid-liquid phase changes to store and release heat, providing stable temperature control.

2. Raw Materials for Daily Chemicals & Aromatherapy

Mosquito repellents, aromatherapy candles, and smokeless heating fragrance solvents: Ensures uniform combustion with minimal smoke.

Cleansing oils, emollients, and skincare base oils: Offers mild moisturizing properties and enhances skin feel.

3. Industrial Specialty Solvents

Paints & inks: Acts as a diluent solvent to regulate drying speed and improve paint film leveling.

Metal cleaning & precision instrument degreasing: Serves as a low-corrosion cleaning agent.

Organic synthesis & extraction: Used as an extraction solvent in fine chemicals and fragrance synthesis.

4. Gas Chromatography (GC) Standards for Laboratories

High-purity n-tetradecane serves as a GC reference standard solution and carbon chain calibration standard. It is widely used for testing oil and hydrocarbon components, as well as environmental sample analysis.

5. Other Industries

Chlorinated paraffin production: Acts as a primary raw material.

Lubricants: Used as a blending agent for base oils.

Leather processing: Serves as a fatliquoring auxiliary.

Specialty waxes: Used as a modifying raw material.

Package

In 200kg/drum, 750kg/IBC drum

Storage

Sealed storage in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from open flames, high temperature heat sources, and prohibited from strong sunlight exposure.
