  • Applications

    4-Tridecanol (CAS 26215-92-9) is a long-chain fatty alcohol that serves primarily as a building block for fragrance and flavor esters, enabling synthesis of ester compounds used to impart notes in perfumery. It also acts as a precursor for nonionic surfactants via ethoxylation, supporting formulations in household cleaners, personal care products, and industrial detergents. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as an emollient and conditioning agent due to its waxy, lubricious character. Additionally, in polymers, coatings, and inks, it can be used as a processing aid or lubrication additive to improve processing and compatibility of formulations.
