Description

1-Monotridecanoin is a monoglyceride derived from tridecanoic acid, serving as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. Its molecular structure provides excellent surface-active properties, making it a critical component for stabilizing formulations and modifying interfacial tension. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, food, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, high-purity ingredients for emulsion-based products.

Application

• As a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Functioning as a food-grade emulsifier and texture modifier in certain food processing applications.
• Utilized as a dispersing agent and co-emulsifier in industrial and agrochemical formulations.
• Acting as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipid-based compounds and esters.
• Employed in pharmaceutical preparations as an excipient for improving drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Serving as a lubricant and release agent in specific technical and manufacturing processes.

Quality Control

Our 1-Monotridecanoin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the requirements for various industrial and specialty grades. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
