  • Applications

    6-Tridecanol (CAS 5770-03-6) is a long-chain fatty alcohol commonly used as an intermediate and processing aid in several industrial segments; it is employed in cosmetics and personal care as a building block for ester-based emollients and as a solvent or carrier for fragrance formulations; in detergents and household cleaners it can function as a nonionic surfactant component or co-solvent; in polymers and plastics it serves as a processing aid and plasticizer to improve flexibility and handling; in coatings and inks it is used as a processing additive and solvent to adjust rheology and formulation stability; in agriculture it may be used as a surfactant adjuvant to improve wetting and dispersion of agricultural formulations; in industrial manufacturing more broadly it can be used as a solvent or intermediate for synthesis of esters and lubricants.
