Product Overview
Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1340 is a premium non-ionic surfactant engineered for exceptional stability, efficiency, and versatility. It delivers outstanding emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities, while remaining mild and compatible with most ingredients—making it a top choice for manufacturers across industrial, personal care, and agricultural sectors. Its low-foam peculiarity and resistance to pH fluctuations (4-10) ensure consistent performance in diverse working conditions, reducing production risks and enhancing end-product quality.
Product Advantage
1. Exceptional Chemical Stability for Consistent Performance
Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1340 maintains stable performance across a wide pH range (4-10) and temperature fluctuations (-5℃ to 80℃), a critical advantage verified by 500+ industrial tests. Unlike ordinary surfactants that degrade in extreme conditions, it retains 95% of its emulsifying capacity even after 12 months of storage (per accelerated aging tests), reducing production waste and ensuring end-product reliability for manufacturers.
2. High-Efficiency Surface Activity with Low Foam
Equipped with optimized ethylene oxide (EO) content (65-70%, tested via gas chromatography), this surfactant delivers superior wetting and dispersing efficiency—cutting oil-stain removal time by 30% in industrial cleaning scenarios. Its low-foam design (foam height ≤ 15mm at 25℃, per Ross-Miles method) is ideal for high-pressure cleaning and textile dyeing, avoiding foam-related defects that cost clients an average of 12% in production losses annually.
3. Mild Formula Suitable for Sensitive Applications
With a skin irritation index of ≤ 0.8 (tested by a third-party dermatological lab), E1340 is safe for personal care products like baby shampoos and facial cleansers. It also meets EU REACH regulations for cosmetic ingredients, making it compliant for export to 27+ European countries. This mildness, combined with strong compatibility (works with 98% of common cosmetic/industrial additives), expands its usability across sectors.
4. Cost-Effective Bulk Performance
Our E1340 is produced via advanced continuous synthesis technology, achieving a raw material utilization rate of 99.2%—lowering production costs by 15% compared to batch-processed alternatives. For bulk buyers, this translates to a 8-10% price advantage without compromising quality (hydroxyl value stability: ±2 mg KOH/g per 1000L batch). We also offer flexible payment terms for orders over 5000L, supporting clients' cash flow.
5. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Attributes
E1340 has a biodegradation rate of ≥ 90% within 28 days (per OECD 301B test), meeting global environmental standards for green cleaning and agricultural products. It reduces pesticide runoff by 25% when used as an adjuvant, aligning with sustainable agriculture goals. Our production facility also holds ISO 14001 certification, ensuring minimal carbon emissions (≤ 0.3 kg CO₂ per kg of E1340 produced).

Product Operate Guide
1、General Mixing: Add E1340 to water or base formulations (20-40℃ recommended) with gentle stirring (500-800 rpm) until fully dissolved—avoid high-speed stirring to prevent excess foam.
2、Dosage: Use 0.5-5% (by weight) based on application: 1-3% for detergents/cleaners, 2-5% for cosmetics, 0.5-2% for pesticide adjuvants.
3、Storage: Keep in sealed containers, away from direct sunlight/heat. After opening, use within 3 months for optimal performance.
FAQ
1. Can Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1340 be mixed with anionic or cationic surfactants?
Yes, it's compatible with most anionic (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate) and cationic surfactants. For best results, mix E1340 first with water, then add other surfactants slowly—this avoids clumping and ensures uniform dispersion.
2. What if the product becomes cloudy after storage? Does it affect performance?
Cloudiness often occurs when stored below 10℃ (due to minor crystallization), which is normal. Simply warm the product to 25-30℃ and stir gently; it will regain clarity, and its emulsifying/wetting properties remain unchanged.
3. Is E1340 safe for use in food-contact cleaning products?
Yes, it meets FDA standards for food-contact surface cleaners (when used at ≤3% dosage). It's non-toxic and leaves no harmful residues, making it suitable for cleaning equipment in food processing plants.
4. Can I adjust the dosage beyond the recommended 0.5-5% range?
Minor adjustments (e.g., up to 6% for heavy-duty industrial cleaning) are allowed, but exceeding 7% may cause excessive viscosity or foam. Test small batches first to ensure end-product performance isn't affected.
