Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid

Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid (CAS 68412-55-5) is a mild, ethoxylated ether carboxylic acid derived from a branched tridecyl alcohol base with seven ethylene oxide units.

Where is Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid used?

• Personal care: shampoos, facial cleansers and body washes where mildness to skin and compatibility with other surfactant systems are priorities
• Home care and industrial cleaning: hard surface cleaners and degreasers
• Textile processing: wetting and scouring agent for even penetration of treatment liquids into fiber substrates
• Leather and paper processing: surface modification and emulsification of processing aids during wet finishing
• It functions as an anionic surfactant, providing emulsification, foam control and detergency.

Good to know: Particularly effective in alkaline systems where its performance remains stable. Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suitable for leave-on and rinse-off personal care applications.
