Description

Sodium Isotridecanoate is a versatile anionic surfactant derived from isotridecanoic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a key functional ingredient in various industrial formulations. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for creating stable and effective products.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in polymerization processes (e.g., for synthetic rubbers and plastics).
• Key component in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for enhanced degreasing and surface wetting.
• Emulsifying agent in agrochemical products such as herbicides and pesticides to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Surfactant and cleansing base in personal care products including shampoos, shower gels, and liquid soaps.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty esters and chemical derivatives.
• Dispersing aid for pigments and fillers in coatings, inks, and adhesive systems.
• Additive in metalworking fluids for lubrication and corrosion inhibition.
• Foaming and viscosity control agent in fire-fighting foams and other specialty fluid formulations.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Isotridecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation of product performance.
