Description

2-Tridecanol CAS NO 1653-31-2 is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol characterized by its 13-carbon backbone and terminal hydroxyl group. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and performance additive, valued for its hydrophobic properties and ability to modify surface characteristics. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product stability and functionality.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediates: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing esters and other aroma chemicals, contributing to unique scent profiles in perfumes and consumer products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a co-emulsifier or adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Lubricant and Grease Additives: Functions as a synthetic base oil component or viscosity modifier in specialized lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Plasticizer and Polymer Modifier: Employed to improve the flexibility, processability, and hydrophobic nature of various polymer systems.
• Surfactant and Detergent Synthesis: Serves as a hydrophobic feedstock in the production of non-ionic surfactants for industrial and institutional cleaning applications.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Incorporated into formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in challenging environments.
