Description

n-Tridecane CAS NO 629-50-5 is a high-purity, straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon consisting of thirteen carbon atoms. This compound serves as a critical reference standard, intermediate, and solvent in advanced research and industrial processes. It is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the petrochemical, fragrance, and specialty chemical sectors requiring a defined and consistent C13 alkane.

Application

• Gas Chromatography (GC) Reference Standard: Used for calibration, system suitability testing, and as a retention index marker.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block for surfactants, lubricant additives, and specialty polymers.
• Solvent & Diluent: Employed in formulations requiring a non-polar, high-boiling-point hydrocarbon solvent.
• Jet Fuel & Petrochemical Research: A model compound for studying combustion properties, fuel performance, and hydrocarbon cracking.
• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a solvent or a minor component in the synthesis and extraction of aromatic compounds.
• Phase Change Material (PCM) Research: Investigated for thermal energy storage applications due to its specific melting and freezing points.
