Trideceth-8 carboxylic acid

Trideceth-8 carboxylic acid (CAS 70750-17-3) is a nonionic-anionic ethoxylated carboxylic acid surfactant derived from C12-13 fatty alcohols.

Where is Trideceth-8 carboxylic acid used?

• Personal care: mild emulsifier and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers
• Industrial and institutional cleaning: low-foaming detergent component for hard surface cleaners and degreasers, especially in alkaline systems
• Textile processing: wetting and scouring during fiber preparation
• Dyeing auxiliaries: surface penetration
• Leather and paper processing: emulsification of treatment baths and uniformity
• It supports surface consistency during finishing operations.

Good to know: It combines the mildness of ethoxylated nonionics with the anionic character of a carboxylate group, making it effective across a broad pH range.
