Nonacosane（Cat No.:I016778）is a long-chain alkane hydrocarbon commonly found in plant cuticles, insect exoskeletons, and beeswax. This 29-carbon molecule contributes to the protective, hydrophobic barrier on plant surfaces, helping to reduce water loss and provide resistance to environmental stressors. In research, nonacosane is studied for its ecological role in plant and insect communication and as a chemical marker in biological systems. Due to its stability and hydrophobic nature, nonacosane is also explored in cosmetic formulations and as a reference substance in analytical chemistry for hydrocarbon analysis.
