What does Tetradecanal smell like?

Fatty, waxy aldehyde with a dry amber-incense body and a citrus-peel and musk trail, much softer and less soapy than the C8 to C12 aldehydes. This is the true straight-chain aldehyde C-14, not the so-called aldehyde C-14 of perfumery, which is gamma-undecalactone.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
