Isomeric Tridecanol Polyether E-1306 is a high-performance nonionic surfactant prepared by ethoxylation of isomeric tridecanol, which exhibits excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties due to its unique branched chain structure.
Detailed Explanation
Isomeric Tridecanol Polyether E-1306 (CAS No.: 9043-30-5)is a classic nonionic surfactant produced by Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd., belonging to the isomeric tridecanol polyoxyethylene ether series. The product appears as a colorless to slightly yellow transparent liquid, dispersible in water and soluble in most organic solvents. The branched alkyl chain in its molecular structure imparts a lower pour point and superior low-temperature fluidity compared to linear alcohol polyethers, making it less prone to solidification in cold environments and significantly enhancing ease of handling.
This product features outstanding interfacial activity, rapidly reducing dynamic surface tension for efficient wetting, spreading, and penetration capabilities. Additionally, its excellent acid and alkali resistance, as well as hard water tolerance, allows it to maintain stable surface activity in complex water conditions and a wide pH range. It exhibits good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, making it an ideal component in various formulation systems. The product also has good biodegradability, meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
From a safety perspective, this material is classified as a severe eye irritant (GHS Category 2). Chemical safety goggles or face shields should be worn during use. The flash point is greater than 100°C (closed cup), and the auto-ignition temperature is approximately 290°C. It should be stored away from open flames and strong oxidizing agents, with a recommended storage temperature between 5°C and 40°C.

Application Recommendations
Industrial and Institutional Cleaning: Suitable for formulating low-foaming metal surface cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and vehicle wash agents. The dosage should be adjusted according to the formulation system. With its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and degreasing abilities, it effectively removes industrial oils and prevents soil redeposition.
Textile and Dyeing Auxiliaries: As a key component in pretreatment wetting agents, leveling agents, and soaping agents, it promotes dye liquor penetration into fibers, improving dyeing uniformity. It is applicable in desizing, scouring, and other pretreatment processes, enhancing fabric treatment uniformity and color fastness.
Metalworking Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and lubricity additive in formulating fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and emulsifiable cutting fluids and grinding fluids. It offers triple functions of cooling, lubrication, and cleaning, extending the service life of the working fluid.
Agrochemical Formulations: Applied in the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates, emulsion concentrates, and microemulsions. It effectively improves the dispersibility of active ingredients and leaf surface wetting and spreading, thereby enhancing field control efficacy.
Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an efficient emulsifier during the emulsion polymerization of monomers such as acrylates and styrene. It helps control latex particle size distribution, reduce gel formation, and improve the storage stability of the final product.
Precautions
- This product is a severe eye irritant (H319). Chemical safety goggles or face shields must be worn during operation.
- If it enters the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention (P305+P351+P338).
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C, away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
- Ensure good ventilation in the operation area, keep away from heat sources and open flames, and no smoking.
- The product maintains good fluidity at low temperatures, but prolonged exposure to extreme heat may affect product performance.
