Description

Tridecyl Erucate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from erucic acid. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent emolliency, lubricity, and stability, making it a superior choice for high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and lubricant industries seeking bio-based and high-quality ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and lipsticks.
• Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants requiring high thermal stability and low volatility.
• Plasticizers: Functions as a bio-based plasticizer for polymers, improving flexibility and processability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber and yarn manufacturing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a lubricity additive in cutting and grinding fluids.
• Release Agents: Effective as a mold release agent in rubber and plastic molding processes.
