  • Toxicity Summary: IDENTIFICATION AND USE: 1-Tetradecanol is a white solid or crystal used in organic synthesis, plasticizers, antifoaming agent, intermediate, perfume fixative for soaps and cosmetics, wetting agents and detergents, ointments and suppositories, shampoos, toothpaste, cold creams, and specialty cleaning preparations. 1-tetradecanol and 1-dodecanol are also used in combination with the (E, E) -8, 10-dodecadiene-1-ol, (Z)-11-tetradecene-1-yl acetate, and (Z)-9-tetradecene-1-yl acetate as a pheromone confusion mixture for controlling pests on plants, e.g., codling moths and leaf wrappers. In Denmark, the product is used for insect control in apples and pears. It is registered for pesticide use in the U.S. but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses. 1-Tetradecanol has been tested as experimental medication in controlling the progression of chronic periodontal disease. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Thirty-one patients allergic to Hirudoid cream were patch tested with the ingredients. 29 were allergic to the cream base and 16 to one or more components. The most common allergens were for 1-tetrad Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 190 was calculated in fish for 1-tetradecanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 6.03(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 18,197-26,303 in humic acid(2), indicate that 1-tetradecanol is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1-tetradecanol from moist soil surfaces is expected given a Henry's Law constant of 1.04X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(3). However, adsorption to soil is expected to attenuate volatilization(SRC). 1-Tetradecanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.1X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(4). A biodegradation rate constant of 52.5 1/hr in sludge was reported for 1-tetradecanol(5), indicating that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), reported Koc values of 23,320-64,060 in suspended solids(2), indicate that 1-tetradecanol is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 1.04X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 17 hours and 10 days, respectively(SRC). However, volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be attenuated by adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in the water column. The estimated volatilization half-life from a model pond is 20-55 months if adsorption is considered(5). 1-Tetradecanol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 190(SRC), from its log Kow of 6.03(7) and a regression-derived equation(8), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). A biodegradation rate constant of 52.5 1/hr was reported in sludge(9), indicating that biodegrada Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1-tetradecanol, which has a vapor pressure of 1.1X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1-tetradecanol is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 18 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). 1-Tetradecanol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

In Denmark, the product is used for insect control in apples and pears. Mode of action is to prevent mating of codling moths and several species of leaf wrappers, whereby propagation is prevented. That results in a reduced moth (leaf rollers) population and therefore less damage to the ... /crops/.
