  • Applications

    4,8-Dimethyltridecane (CAS 55030-62-1) is a branched C15 hydrocarbon primarily used as a non-polar solvent and diluent in a range of industrial formulations; in coatings, inks and adhesives it can act as a hydrocarbon carrier aiding viscosity control. It is also employed as a carrier solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing a hydrocarbon-based base for formulations with minimal odor impact. In industrial manufacturing it functions as a processing aid and cleaning solvent for equipment and parts where a non-polar solvent is appropriate. It can form part of hydrocarbon-based lubricants and specialty oils, contributing to lubricity and viscosity properties. Additionally, it may be used as a reference material or intermediate in analytical workflows for hydrocarbon solution characterization.
