FAQs

Question: What is another name for tetradecanoic acid?

Answer:Tetradecanoic acid is myristic acid, a saturated 14-carbon fatty acid with CAS 544-63-8.

Question: What purity and package size are supplied?

Answer:This variant is 98% tetradecanoic acid in a 2,500 g package.

Question: Is tetradecanoic acid readily soluble in water?

Answer:No. Myristic acid is poorly soluble in water, so organic solvents or suitable formulation conditions may be needed for dissolution or dispersal.

Application Note

Thermo Scientific Chemicals Tetradecanoic Acid is a saturated C14 fatty acid, also known as myristic acid, for formulation work and chemical research. The 98% grade is supplied as a 2,500 g quantity and has the molecular formula C14H28O2, CAS 544-63-8 and a molecular weight of 228.38 g/mol. This long-chain carboxylic acid is used in the investigation and preparation of surfactants, fatty-acid derivatives, emulsifiers and specialty chemical formulations. Its low water solubility means that solvent choice and processing temperature affect the behavior of experimental mixtures. In soaps and detergent chemistry it can serve as a precursor to fatty-acid salts; in esterification studies it supplies a defined 14-carbon hydrophobic chain. Keep material dry in a tightly closed container and protect it from incompatible oxidizing agents.
