Premium Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1312 - Reliable Solubilizer for Cosmetic Creams & Industrial Cleaners

Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1312 (IAE E1312) is a premium non-ionic surfactant made by ethoxylating isotridecyl alcohol with 12 moles of ethylene oxide. Boasting ≥99% active content (per ISO 4314 GC testing) and a balanced HLB value of ~14, it excels at emulsification, wetting, solubilization, and dispersion. It suits cosmetics, industrial cleaning, agrochemicals, household care, and textiles, with stability across pH 3-12 and -5°C to 85°C. Biodegradable (OECD 301B) and compliant with REACH, FDA, and GB/T 26396, it's a reliable choice for global formulations.

Product Overview

Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1312 (abbreviated as IAE E1312) is a premium technical-grade non-ionic surfactant, synthesized by ethoxylating isotridecyl alcohol with 12 moles of ethylene oxide. This precise ethoxylation degree gives it a balanced HLB value of ~14, ensuring strong compatibility with both aqueous and oil-based systems. With a minimum 99% active content (tested via gas chromatography per ISO 4314 standards), it meets strict industrial requirements and complies with global regulations (REACH, FDA for indirect food contact, GB/T 26396), making it a reliable choice for cross-border applications.


Core Features & Technical Advantages

  1. Superior Emulsifying and Wetting Abilities: It boasts excellent emulsifying, wetting, and penetrating properties. In textile pre-treatment formulations, adding a small amount enables great scouring results, enhancing processing efficiency.

  2. High Stability and Low Dosage: When emulsifying amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, it needs less dosage than ordinary emulsifiers. The emulsion is more stable, and its strong permeability reaches fiber interiors for a softer hand feel.

  3. Convenient Formulation and Use: Easily dispersible or soluble in water. Formulating it into 80 - 90% concentration turns it into a uniform fluid, making application more convenient and effective.

  4. Environmentally Friendly and Versatile: Free of benzene ring structure, it's an eco-friendly product. It can replace imported TX series and TX - 40/OP - 40 as an emulsifier and wetting agent, suitable for multiple industries.


Key Application Areas

  1. Textile Industry: As a component of softeners, detergents, emulsifiers, and scouring agents in textile pre-treatment for excellent scouring effects.

  2. Leather Processing: Serves as a component of softeners, detergents, emulsifiers, and scouring agents in leather processing to improve processing quality.

  3. Cleaning Field: Acts as a metal processing auxiliary, multifunctional detergent, household care cleaner, vehicle and public facility cleaner, and ultrasonic cleaner.

  4. Silicone Oil Emulsification: Provides excellent emulsifying effects for amino silicone oil and dimethyl silicone oil, enhancing post-use performance.

Product Operate Guide

1、Addition: Stir the base solution (water/oil) gently, then slowly add IAE E1312 to avoid excess foam—mix for 5-8 minutes until fully dissolved.

2、Dosage: Use 0.5-6% (by weight): 1-3% for cosmetics/household cleaners, 2-5% for agrochemicals, 3-6% for industrial degreasers. Adjust based on needs.

Notes: Store in a sealed container at 5-30°C. Avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases; test a small batch first for best results.


FAQ

Q1: If I accidentally mix IAE E1312 with strong acids/bases, what should I do?

A1: Stop using the mixture immediately—it may lose functionality or form impurities. Dispose of it safely per local regulations. For future use, always pre-dilute acids/bases first before mixing with IAE E1312.

Q2: Can IAE E1312 be used in high-temperature formulations (e.g., >85°C)?

A2: It's stable up to 85°C; above this, performance may drop slightly. If your formulation needs higher temps, test a small batch at target temp first to ensure emulsification or wetting works well.

Q3: What if the dissolved IAE E1312 solution sits unused for days? Will it go bad?

A3: Unused dissolved solution (sealed, 5-30°C) stays effective for 3-5 days. After that, it may develop slight turbidity—stir well and test its emulsifying ability before using to avoid formulation issues.

Q4: Is IAE E1312 safe to use in formulations for children's products (e.g., kids'shampoos)?

A4: It has low irritation, but children's products need stricter checks. Conduct a dermatological test on your final formulation and confirm compliance with local kids'care product regulations first.
