Description
1-Tridecanol (CAS 112-70-9) is a straight-chain primary fatty alcohol also known as n-Tridecanol, Alcohol C13, and Tridecanol. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29051990. The molecular formula is C13H28O.
In personal care formulations, 1-Tridecanol functions as an emollient and emulsion stabilizer by integrating into lipid bilayers to regulate texture and moisture retention. In industrial coatings and textile processing, it acts as a surfactant precursor and wetting agent, reducing interfacial tension to improve substrate penetration and film uniformity.
1-Tridecanol is supplied as a white low-melting solid in forms ranging from powder to lump, transitioning to a clear liquid above its melting point. It is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Standard packaging options suit both laboratory-scale procurement and bulk industrial supply.
