Jienuo
Isotridecyl Alcohol Random Polyether TPE-1000 (CAS 9043-30-5) is a high-performance nonionic surfactant derived from isotridecyl alcohol. As a versatile polyether, it acts as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and wetting agent, featuring low foam, excellent stability, and gentle compatibility. Widely applied in cosmetics, industrial cleaning, and coatings, it enhances formulation uniformity and process efficiency. Suitable for both cosmetic-grade and industrial-grade scenarios, this product balances functional performance and operational convenience, making it a preferred choice for diverse manufacturing needs.
Product Advantage
Superior Stability & Low Foam
It maintains excellent stability in various systems, paired with low foam properties—critical for high-efficiency operations (e.g., industrial cleaning). Test data shows its foam height stays ≤20mm in standard tests, reducing post-process rinsing efforts.
High Purity & Consistent Quality
With active content ≥99.0% (exceeding industry average of 95%) and acid value ≤0.5mgKOH/g, it ensures minimal impurities, lowering formulation interference risks for end products.
Broad Compatibility
As a nonionic surfactant, it blends well with ionic/nonionic ingredients, adapting to diverse formulations (cosmetics, coatings). Its gentle nature also suits mild cosmetic applications.
Multi-Functional Performance
It acts as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant simultaneously—eliminating the need for multiple additives, thus cutting production costs.

Product Uses
Industrial Cleaning
Applied in metal cleaning fluids as a wetting agent & emulsifier, it effectively dissolves grease while minimizing foam, ensuring smooth cleaning processes (e.g., metal cutting coolant).
Cosmetics Formulation
Used as an emulsifier in creams/lotions, its gentle compatibility and stable emulsification help maintain product texture uniformity, suitable for skin-friendly cosmetic lines.
Coatings & Textiles
Serves as a leveling agent in coatings to improve film smoothness; in textiles, it acts as a lubricant for high-speed weaving, reducing fiber friction.
Add TPE-1000 directly to the formulation (dosage: 1-5% of total mass, adjust based on scenario). Stir at 25-40℃ for 10-15 minutes until fully dispersed. For cosmetic use, mix with oil phase first before emulsifying with water phase for better stability.
FAQ
What's the shelf life of TPE-1000?
It has a 2-year shelf life when stored in sealed plastic drums (20kg/50kg) in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Is TPE-1000 suitable for food-contact products?
No, it's designed for industrial/cosmetic use only, not for applications involving direct food contact.
Can TPE-1000 be used in cold formulations?
Yes, it dissolves well at room temperature (25℃), so no heating is required for cold-blended products, simplifying operation.
