Isotridecyl C16-18 fatty acids esters

Isotridecyl C16-18 fatty acids esters (CAS 95912-88-2) are synthetic esters produced from isotridecanol and C16-18 fatty acids. Also marketed as Radia 7513.

Where is Isotridecyl C16-18 fatty acids esters used?

• Metalworking and industrial lubrication: base or co-base fluid in cutting fluids, hydraulic oils and gear lubricants
• Coatings: plasticizing additive that improves film flexibility and substrate adhesion
• Adhesives and sealants: softener that adjusts rheology and extends open time in hot-melt and solvent-based systems
• Polymer and elastomer compounding: improves processability and flexibility in PVC and rubber compounds
• It functions as a lubricant base fluid and plasticizer in industrial formulations.

Good to know: Preferred where oxidative stability and low volatility are procurement priorities; valued where biodegradability and thermal stability are required.
