Isomeric Tridecanol Polyether E-1306 (CAS: 9043-30-5) is a nonionic surfactant produced by addition polymerization of ethylene oxide using isomeric tridecanol as the initiator. Its unique branched chain structure endows the product with excellent penetration, emulsification, dispersion, and acid-alkali resistance, and it is widely used in the following industries and processes:
| Industry Sector | Specific Process/Application |
|---|---|
| Industrial and Institutional Cleaning | Formulation of metal surface cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and vehicle cleaners, providing detergency and anti-redeposition effects |
| Textile Printing and Dyeing Auxiliaries | Penetrants, leveling agents, and soaping agents for pretreatment; desizing, scouring, and other pretreatment processes |
| Leather Processing | Penetration and dispersion agents in soaking, degreasing, dyeing, and fatliquoring processes |
| Metalworking Fluids | Emulsifiers and lubricant components for fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and emulsifiable cutting fluids and grinding fluids |
| Pesticide Formulations | Emulsifiers for pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, and microemulsions, enhancing wetting, spreading, and field efficacy of spray solutions |
| Emulsion Polymerization | Emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization of monomers such as acrylates and styrene, controlling particle size and reducing gel content |
Due to its low pour point and excellent low-temperature fluidity, Isomeric Tridecanol Polyether E-1306 is particularly suitable for cleaning formulations in cold environments; its low-foaming property makes it ideal for developing high-quality industrial cleaning products. It performs exceptionally well in scenarios requiring fast cleaning and efficient penetration.
