What is Polyethylene glycol isotridecyl ether?
Polyethylene glycol isotridecyl ether (CAS 9043-30-5), also designated E1310, is a nonionic ethoxylated alcohol surfactant derived from isotridecanol.
Where is Polyethylene glycol isotridecyl ether used?
- Industrial and personal care: emulsifier, dispersant, cleaning agent
- Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent that removes oils, waxes and sizing agents from fibre surfaces ahead of dyeing or finishing
- Leather manufacturing: degreases hides and improves penetration of tanning agents
- Personal care: emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions and cleansing products
- Industrial cleaning: low-foam degreasing for hard surfaces and process equipment
- Performance is tunable by the degree of ethoxylation.
Good to know: Lower EO variants tend toward liquid form, while higher EO grades are more viscous or paste-like.
Commercial specifications
- Ethoxylation levels typically range from approximately 3 to 20 moles of ethylene oxide
- Drum and IBC packaging standard for bulk procurement
