Description

Tridecanol CAS NO 26248-42-0 is a versatile fatty alcohol consisting of a thirteen-carbon chain, serving as a crucial intermediate and functional ingredient in high-performance industrial formulations. Its balanced hydrophobic character and reactivity make it an essential building block for creating surfactants, lubricants, and specialty esters. This product is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and polymer industries seeking consistent raw material quality for stable end-products.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for the synthesis of non-ionic surfactants (e.g., ethoxylates) and sulfate esters used in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed in the production of emollient esters and pearlescent agents for creams, lotions, and hair care formulations, providing texture and stability.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Additive: Acts as a friction modifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic lubricants and cutting fluids.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Used to modify the flexibility and processing characteristics of polymers and resins.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a co-solvent and penetration enhancer in pesticide and herbicide emulsions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A precursor for the synthesis of aroma chemicals and esters that contribute to specific scent profiles.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softener and lubricant in fiber manufacturing and fabric finishing.
