Description

C13-C14 Isoparaffin CAS NO 64365-06-6 is a high-purity, synthetic hydrocarbon solvent consisting of branched-chain (iso-) alkanes in the C13 to C14 carbon range. This product matters for its exceptional chemical stability, low odor, and high volatility, making it a superior alternative to traditional mineral spirits and n-paraffins in sensitive formulations. It is needed by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, agrochemical, and specialty cleaning industries seeking a consistent, low-color, and inert processing medium.

Application

• Primary solvent and carrier fluid in agricultural formulations such as emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) and oil-based dispersions.
• Key ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, including hair sprays, deodorants, and makeup removers, valued for its skin feel and evaporation profile.
• Performance base oil and diluent in specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids requiring high thermal and oxidative stability.
• Solvent and extraction medium in industrial cleaning and degreasing applications where low residue is critical.
• Carrier and wetting agent in polymer and resin production, as well as in adhesive formulations.
• Process solvent in the pharmaceutical industry for intermediate purification and reaction media.
• Component in ink and coating formulations to control viscosity and drying time.

Quality Control

Our C13-C14 Isoparaffin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for composition, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and the product can be supplied to meet relevant industry standards, including ISO and REACH compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
