1305 Isotridecyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether (CAS 69011-36-5) is a nonionic surfactant manufactured from branched tridecyl alcohol reacted with ethylene oxide. Also known by the INCI name Trideceth, this product belongs to the isotridecyl alcohol ethoxylate family and functions as a dispersant, wetting agent, and emulsifier in various commercial formulations. The 1305 grade, with a cloud point range of 63.0-67.0°C, is formulated for use in detergent products, personal care formulations, and industrial cleaning applications. Business buyers in the home care and personal care sectors select this grade for its balanced detergency and foaming characteristics.
This product carries CAS number 69011-36-5 and EINECS number 500-241-6. Its chemical structure follows the general formula RO(C₂H₄O)ₙH, where R represents the isotridecyl (branched C13) alkyl group and n denotes the average number of ethylene oxide moles added. As a nonionic surfactant, it carries no electrical charge in solution, which contributes to its compatibility with diverse formulation ingredients. The product is supplied at 99.5% purity in industrial grade, appearing as a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is listed under TSCA and meets REACH registration requirements for commercial distribution in industrial markets.

The cloud point of 63.0-67.0°C defines the temperature range at which the surfactant begins to separate from aqueous solution, an important parameter for formulators designing products for specific use temperatures. The APHA color value of 30 or below indicates consistent light color, which is particularly relevant for personal care and clear detergent products where visual appearance matters. The pH range of 5.0-7.0 ensures skin-friendly characteristics for rinse-off personal care formulations.
The 1305 grade is engineered for use in detergent and personal care product formulations. In shampoo and body wash products, it contributes to foaming performance and enhances the cleansing action of surfactant blends. Its moisturizing and lubricating properties add conditioning benefits to rinse-off formulations, improving the sensory experience during use. In liquid laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids, this surfactant assists in soil removal and emulsification of oily stains. The product's branched C13 structure provides improved wetting compared to linear alcohol ethoxylates of similar ethylene oxide content.
For industrial cleaning operations, isotridecyl alcohol ethoxylates serve as key components in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and vehicle washing formulations. The product's ability to lower surface tension enables cleaning solutions to penetrate and lift soils from metal, glass, and concrete surfaces. Formulators working with industrial cleaning concentrates value its solubility profile and compatibility with builders, chelating agents, and hydrotropes commonly used in heavy-duty cleaning products. The 63.0-67.0°C cloud point makes this grade suitable for medium-temperature cleaning processes typical in institutional and industrial cleaning operations.
Isotridecyl alcohol ethoxylates demonstrate solubility in water and various organic solvents, providing flexibility for both aqueous and solvent-based formulation systems. They remain stable in both acidic and alkaline environments, withstanding pH levels encountered in most industrial cleaning and personal care formulations. The product is compatible with anionic surfactants such as LAS and SLES, as well as amphoteric surfactants like CAPB, allowing formulators to build balanced surfactant systems. Its low gel phase characteristics simplify the manufacturing process by reducing viscosity issues during product dilution and blending.
Production of 1305 Isotridecyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether follows documented manufacturing procedures with batch-to-batch quality monitoring. Every production lot undergoes testing for water content, pH value, cloud point, color, and appearance using standardized analytical methods. The production facility maintains ISO 9001 certification, with quality control checkpoints at each stage of the ethoxylation process. Certificates of Analysis are provided with each shipment, giving enterprise customers documented confirmation of product specifications. For personal care applications, the product meets relevant raw material purity requirements and is free from APEO components, supporting compliance with cosmetic ingredient regulations in major markets.
The product is available in multiple packaging configurations: 200 kg iron drums, 1000 kg IBC totes, and ISO tank containers for full container load orders. Commercial users should store the product in original sealed containers in a dry warehouse away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Proper storage conditions help maintain the product's specified cloud point and color characteristics throughout its shelf life. Standard industrial chemical handling practices apply, including the use of protective gloves and eye protection during transfer operations. The product is classified under HS code 3402900090 for international shipping purposes.
The minimum order quantity is 1 ton, available in 200 kg drum packaging or 1000 kg IBC totes to accommodate different production batch sizes for business operations.
