Isotridecyl Alcohol (ITDA), also known as C13 alcohol, is a branched fatty alcohol widely used as a chemical intermediate and performance additive across a range of industrial applications. Supplied under the ELUCARE® TD brand, this high-performance alcohol is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solvency properties, making it a critical component in surfactants, coatings, agrochemicals, and specialty formulations.

Shipping Isotridecyl Alcohol is typically sold in bulk liquid quantities, and is also available in totes (IBC tanks) and drums. Special packaging and logistics solutions are available upon request.

Description

Isotridecyl Alcohol (ITDA) is a branched, primary fatty alcohol consisting of a mixture of C13 isomers. Its unique molecular structure provides improved stability, low volatility, and enhanced performance compared to linear alcohols, particularly in demanding industrial formulations.

ITDA is commonly used as a raw material in the production of surfactants, plasticizers, lubricants, and chemical intermediates. Its ability to improve spreading, penetration, and emulsification makes it especially valuable in agricultural and industrial applications.

Due to its hydrophobic nature and compatibility with organic systems, isotridecyl alcohol is widely incorporated into formulations requiring durability, low foaming, and efficient surface activity.

Applications / Use Cases

Isotridecyl Alcohol (ITDA) is used across a wide range of industries and chemical processes, including:

  • Surfactants and emulsifiers
  • Agricultural adjuvants and wetting agents
  • Industrial coatings and heat-set inks
  • Textile auxiliaries and finishing agents
  • Lubricants and synthetic fluids
  • Plasticizers and polymer additives
  • Chemical intermediates for specialty formulations
  • Cleaning and degreasing agents

Its branched structure enhances performance in formulations requiring improved wetting, spreading, and resistance to oxidation.
