Myristic acid Structure

Myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid) is a saturated fatty acid widely distributed in nutmeg butter, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil. Our product is a high-purity grade (≥98% by GC) supplied as a white crystalline powder, making it suitable for both R&D and production-scale applications.

This versatile fatty acid is a common building block in the synthesis of esters, soaps, surfactants, and cosmetics. It also serves as a reference standard in analytical chemistry and as a component in lubricant and plasticizer formulations.

Synonyms: Tetradecanoic acid, n-Tetradecanoic acid, C14:0 fatty acid, Myristic acid (natural), NSC 5029, Emery 655
