Isotridecanol Polyether E-1310 (CAS: 9043-30-5) is a low-foaming nonionic surfactant with an HLB value of about 13.3, a cloud point of 50~70°C, easily soluble in water, and appears as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid at room temperature. Its usage methods are flexible and diverse. It is typically added directly as a functional component in the formulation or diluted with water before compounding. The product has good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants and can achieve synergistic effects.
Since the product may solidify or become excessively thick at low temperatures (melting point below -10°C), it is recommended to store and use at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C. If the product thickens due to low temperatures, it can be naturally warmed to room temperature, stirred evenly, and then used. Direct heating with an open flame is strictly prohibited.
Industrial and Household Cleaning Agents: Used as a core component in hard surface cleaners and metal degreasers. The recommended dosage is generally 1%~5% of the total formulation (specific amount needs experimental optimization). It can be directly added to aqueous systems and stirred evenly. Its excellent wetting and penetrating power, along with low foam and easy rinsing, allows rapid removal of oil and dirt.
Textile and Printing Auxiliaries: Used as a penetrating agent and scouring agent in desizing, scouring, refining, and dyeing processes. The typical dosage is 0.5~3 g\/L of the working solution. After dilution with water, it is added to the treatment bath to help chemicals penetrate fibers evenly, improving whiteness and dye uptake. Its low-foaming property is especially suitable for high-shear equipment like jet dyeing.
Leather Processing: Applied in pretreatment processes such as soaking, degreasing, and softening. The recommended dosage is 0.3%~1.0% of the hide weight. It promotes the penetration of chemical agents, effectively removes natural oils, and protects the fineness of the leather surface.
Pesticide Formulations: Used as an emulsifier in water-based formulations (EC, EW, ME). The recommended dosage is 3%~8% of the total formulation. The active ingredient is mixed evenly with the product, then diluted with water to obtain a stable emulsion, significantly optimizing spray wetting and target spreading effects.
Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsion stabilizer in the synthesis of vinyl acetate, acrylate, and other synthetic emulsions. The dosage is generally 1%~4% of the total monomer amount. It is dissolved uniformly in the water phase before polymerization to ensure fine and uniform latex particles and improve the mechanical and freeze-thaw stability of the latex system.

Isotridecanol Polyether E-1310 is a non-flammable liquid, but according to GHS classification, it can cause skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). It is also harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H412).
Personal Protection: During operation, wear chemical-resistant protective gloves (e.g., nitrile rubber, neoprene), chemical safety goggles or full-face shield, and long-sleeved protective clothing. Wash hands and any exposed body parts thoroughly after operation. In environments with insufficient ventilation or potential aerosol generation, wear a gas mask or supplied-air respirator.
Environmental Protection: Do not discharge the product or contaminated containers directly into surface waters, groundwater, or public drainage systems. Waste liquid and containers should be disposed of as hazardous waste according to local regulations.
Emergency Response: In case of skin contact, immediately rinse with plenty of running water and soap for at least 15 minutes. For eye contact, flush thoroughly with plenty of water or saline for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention as soon as possible. If ingested, do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth with clean water immediately and seek medical attention.
