Description

1-Tridecanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol with the CAS number 112-70-9, serving as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced manufacturing. Its linear C13 structure provides a unique balance of hydrophobic character and reactivity, making it valuable for synthesizing specialized esters, surfactants, and lubricants. This product is essential for formulators and chemical processors in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their high-performance applications.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for the synthesis of biodegradable non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers used in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Employed in the production of emollient esters and pearlescent agents for creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing smooth texture and stability.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Additive: Acts as a friction modifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic lubricants and cutting fluids.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a solvent or co-emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance active ingredient delivery and leaf adhesion.
• Plasticizer and Polymer Additive: Serves as a processing aid and internal lubricant in plastics manufacturing to improve flow properties and surface finish.
• Flavor & Fragrance Synthesis: A precursor for creating specific aroma chemicals and flavor esters with fatty, waxy notes.
