Description

Isotridecan-1-Ol is a branched-chain primary alcohol, also known as isotridecyl alcohol, with the CAS registry number 27458-92-0. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its hydrophobic properties and excellent solvency, making it a key component in the synthesis of high-performance surfactants and plasticizers. It is essential for manufacturers in the chemical, polymer, and personal care industries seeking to improve product stability and performance.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of nonionic surfactants (e.g., ethoxylates) used in industrial and institutional cleaners.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, such as isotridecyl phthalate, for PVC and other polymers to enhance flexibility.
• Used as a solvent and coupling agent in agrochemical formulations and pesticide emulsions.
• Employed in the manufacture of lubricant additives and metalworking fluids.
• Intermediate for producing esters used in synthetic lubricants and functional fluids.
• Component in the synthesis of specialty chemicals for coatings and ink applications.
• Used in personal care product formulations as an emollient and viscosity controller.

Quality Control

Our Isotridecan-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Every lot is tested against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include parameters for assay, hydroxyl value, and color. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
