ISOTRIDECYL ALCOHOL

ISOTRIDECYL ALCOHOL

CAS NO:27458-92-0
EC NO:248-469-2


Isotridecyl alcohol  is a clear, high-boiling, oily liquid with a faint, characteristic odor. 
Isotridecyl alcohol is miscible with most common organic solvents, but is practically insoluble in water.
Isotridecyl alcohol  is a mixture of isomeric alcohols with a high molecular mass and reacts accordingly. 
For instance, the most significant application in practice is the formation of the corresponding esters in reactions with acids.

Isotridecyl alcohol is used as a lubricant and for the manufacture of surfactants and plasticizers.
Isotridecyl alcohol is flammable, having a flash point of 120 °C and an ignition temperature of 260 °C.


Applications 

The main application for Isotridecyl alcohol  is as a starting material for the production of plasticizers for PVC. 
Isotridecyl alcohol use as a solvent is very restricted.
Low proportions of Isotridecyl alcohol suppress foaming in the aqueous systems encountered in the textile, paper or coatings industry. 
The product may also serve as a solubilizer or emulsifying agent for oils and waxes.

Isotridecyl alcohol  should be stored under nitrogen. 
The storage temperature must not exceed 40°C and moisture are excluded. 
Under these conditions, a storage stability of 12 months can be expected.
Isotridecyl alcohol  can be stored in tanks and drums constructed from normal carbon steel, e. g. A 283 grade. 
If severe demands are imposed on the product quality, we recommend that it be stored in tanks constructed from stainless steel, e. g. AISI TP 316 Ti (German steel No. 1.4541), or aluminium (AlMg3). 
Isotridecyl alcohol is recommended that steps be taken to ensure the exclusion of atmospheric moisture, e. g. by storing under a blanket of dry nitrogen, as other- wise the product quality may deteriorate,e. g. the water fraction may rise, or the Isotridecyl alcohol  may be discoloured by rust in normal steel tanks. 
Drums containing the product should be kept tightly closed in a well- ventilated place.
Isotridecyl alcohol can be stored for one year at temperatures below 40 °C, if moisture is excluded.
Pumps: Cast-steel centrifugal pumps with a simple slip-ring seal are suitable.
Flange seals: An example of a suitable material for seals is chemical-resistant Polytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE). 
Other plastics should be checked for suitability before they are taken into use.

Fatty alcohols, derived from natural fats and oils, are high molecular straight chain primary alcohols. 
They include lauryl (C12), MyrIstyl (C14), Cetyl ( or palmityl: C16), stearyl (C18), Oleyl (C18, unsaturated), and Linoleyl (C18, polyunsaturated) alcohols. 
There are synthetic fatty alcohols equivalent physically and chemically to natural alcohols obtained from oleochemical sources such as coconut and palm kernel oil. 
Fatty alcohols are emulsifiers and emollients to make skin smoother and prevent moisture loss. 
Identical fatty esters are used to improve rub-out of formulas and to control viscosity and dispersion characteristics in cosmetics, personal care products and pharmaceutical ingredients. 
As chemical intermediates, the primary use of fatty alcohols are as raw material for the production of fatty sulfate salts and alcohol ethoxylates for foaming and cleaning purposes in the field of detergent industry. 
Chemical reactions of primary alcohols include esterifications, ethoxylation, sulfation, oxidation and many other reactions. 
Their derivatives and end use applications include;

Nonionic surfactants (Ethoxylates and propoxylates)
Anionic surfactants (Alkyl sulfates and alkyl ethoxy sulfates)
Chemical intermediates and  polymerization modifiers (Alkyl halides, Alkyl mercaptans)
Quaternary ammonium compounds for detergent sanitisers, softner for textiles, phase transfer catalyst and biocides
Antioxidants for plastics (Alkyl thiopropionates and alkyl phosphites)
Lubricant additives (Metallic and thio alkylphosphates)
Flavor and Fragrance (Aldehydes and ketones)
PVC plasticizers (Dialkyl Phthalates, adipates and trimellitates)
Coatings and inks (acrylate and methacrylate esters)
Water treatment (acrylate and methacrylate esters)

Large amount of fatty alcohols are used as special solvents, fillers in plasticizer and insulating materials for the building industry. 
Fatty alcohols are used as ingredients in the industries of agricultural, foodstuff, metal processing, cosmetics, lube additive, pharmaceutical, rubber, textile, perfume and flavouring as well as synthetic detergent.

Isotridecyl alcohol Ethoxylated is a cleaning agent or "surfactant" that can also be found in cosmetics, metal processing and lubricants. 
We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they're attached to, so they can be rinsed away.
