Tridecyl Ethylhexanoate

Tridecyl Ethylhexanoate (CAS 125804-07-1), also known as Tridecyl 2-ethylhexanoate, is a synthetic ester used as a lubricant and plasticizer across industrial formulations. It delivers low-viscosity lubrication and polymer softening without volatility concerns.

In metalworking and industrial lubricants, it functions as a base fluid or additive component in cutting oils, rolling fluids, and release agents where clean, low-residue performance is required for the application.

Formulators in the coatings and sealants sector incorporate it to improve flexibility and substrate adhesion in finished films. It provides consistent performance across a wide range of temperature conditions and environments.

In plastics processing, it acts as a secondary plasticizer to enhance the softness and workability of polymer compounds. This is particularly useful in applications requiring high levels of low-temperature flexibility.

Adhesive manufacturers use it to adjust tack and flow properties in both hot-melt and solvent-based systems. Its chemical stability ensures that the final adhesive product maintains its integrity over long periods of storage.

Tridecyl Ethylhexanoate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in technical grade, suited to industrial lubricant, polymer, and coating applications where high purity and performance are essential.

Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBC containers, with packaging options varying by supplier volume requirements. This ensures efficient handling and integration into large-scale manufacturing and production lines.
