Description

Isotridecyl Isononanoate is a high-purity, branched-chain synthetic ester known for its excellent emolliency and low viscosity. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its ability to enhance spreadability, reduce greasiness, and improve the sensory profile of finished formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and lubricant industries seeking superior performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in sunscreens, creams, lotions, and makeup products for a non-greasy, silky feel.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability without heavy buildup.
• Lubricants & Functional Fluids: Serves as a base oil or additive in synthetic lubricants, metalworking fluids, and compressor oils due to its thermal stability and low pour point.
• Plasticizers & Polymer Additives: Functions as a secondary plasticizer or processing aid in PVC and other polymers to improve flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Employed as a leveling and flow agent to enhance application properties and final film characteristics.
