  • Applications

    6-Propyltridecane is a branched C16 aliphatic hydrocarbon that is typically used as a non-polar solvent and processing aid in a range of industrial formulations. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it can serve as a diluent and carrier for active ingredients; in polymer and plastics manufacturing, it may act as a processing lubricant or slip agent to improve flow and surface finish; in cosmetics and personal care, it can function as a non-polar solvent or carrier for fragrances and additives; it is also used in cleaning formulations as a hydrocarbon solvent for degreasing and residue removal; as an intermediate, it can serve as a building block in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
