Description

Tridecane (CAS 629-50-5 ) is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon used as a solvent, carrier fluid, and lubricant base component across industrial and specialty chemical applications. n-Tridecane is the commercially recognized designation buyers will encounter in technical datasheets and supplier listings. In lubricant and metalworking formulations, it functions as a low-viscosity base fluid. This material acts as a diluent where precise hydrocarbon chain length improves consistency in blended products. Coatings and adhesive manufacturers use it as a carrier solvent to control evaporation rates. It aids the dispersion of active components in solvent-borne systems. Personal care formulators incorporate it as an emollient carrier in skin-contact products where a lightweight, non-polar fluid is required. It is used to deliver actives or improve spreadability in cosmetic applications. It also serves as a reference standard and process solvent in analytical and specialty chemical production environments. This is particularly useful where a well-defined, single-carbon-number hydrocarbon is specified. Tridecane is supplied as a colorless liquid in drum, IBC, and bulk quantities for industrial use. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with high-purity grades available for laboratory and specialty formulation use. Buyers should confirm purity specification and isomer profile when sourcing. Contact us for supply of Tridecane Request Quote
