Description

1,13-Tridecanediol is a high-purity, long-chain aliphatic diol with the CAS number 13362-52-2, serving as a versatile building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, featuring two primary hydroxyl groups separated by a long hydrocarbon chain, makes it a valuable monomer for creating polymers with specific flexibility, hydrophobicity, and thermal properties. This compound is particularly essential for R&D and production in the specialty polymer, cosmetic ingredient, and lubricant additive sectors, where precise molecular architecture is required.

Application

• Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing polyesters, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates, imparting flexibility and water resistance to the final materials.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used as an emollient, viscosity modifier, or as a raw material for synthesizing specialty esters in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Lubricants & Functional Fluids: Acts as a base or intermediate for synthesizing synthetic lubricants and corrosion inhibitors with excellent stability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Incorporated to modify the properties of adhesives, enhancing flexibility and adhesion to low-energy surfaces.
• Surface Coatings: Used in resin formulations for coatings that require durability, chemical resistance, and specific rheological properties.
• Research & Development: A valuable standard and building block in organic chemistry research for creating novel macromolecules and studying structure-property relationships.

Quality Control

Our 1,13-Tridecanediol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the highest standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, melting point, and impurity profiles to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and heat sources. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is properly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
