1307 Isotridecyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether (CAS 69011-36-5) is a nonionic surfactant designed for use as an adjuvant in agricultural chemical formulations. Produced through the ethoxylation of branched tridecyl alcohol, this product features a C13 isomeric alkyl chain with a higher ethylene oxide content compared to lower-cloud-point grades, resulting in a cloud point range of 74.0-77.0°C. Agricultural formulators use this surfactant as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in pesticide formulations including emulsifiable concentrates (EC), microemulsions (ME), and suspension concentrates (SC). Industrial clients in the agrochemical sector value this grade for its adjuvant performance and formulation stability.
This product is identified by CAS number 69011-36-5 and EINECS number 500-241-6. Its molecular structure follows the formula RO(C₂H₄O)ₙH, where R represents the branched tridecyl group and n represents the average ethylene oxide mole count. The higher EO content of the 1307 grade corresponds to the elevated cloud point of 74.0-77.0°C, providing enhanced water solubility characteristics relevant to agricultural spray applications. Supplied at 99.5% purity as an industrial-grade material, the product appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid at 25°C. It is TSCA listed and maintains REACH registration status for industrial chemical distribution.

The cloud point range of 74.0-77.0°C indicates a higher degree of ethoxylation, which translates to greater water solubility and improved performance in spray tank mixtures used in agricultural applications. The pH value maintained between 5.0 and 7.0 contributes to the stability of pesticide active ingredients that are sensitive to extreme pH conditions. With water content controlled at 0.2% or below, formulators can accurately calculate active ingredient ratios and maintain consistent formulation concentrations across production batches.
The 1307 grade serves as a multifunctional adjuvant in agricultural chemical formulations. In emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations, it functions as a primary emulsifier, helping to create stable oil-in-water emulsions when the concentrate is diluted with water for field spraying. For suspension concentrate (SC) and wettable powder (WP) formulations, the product acts as a dispersant and wetting agent, improving the suspension properties of solid active ingredients in spray tank mixtures. Its branched molecular structure provides rapid wetting of leaf surfaces, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient uptake by target plants.
When added to spray tank mixtures, isotridecyl alcohol ethoxylates reduce the surface tension of spray solutions, allowing the liquid to spread more uniformly across leaf surfaces rather than beading up and rolling off. This improved wetting and spreading increases the contact area between the pesticide active ingredient and the target pest or plant surface, supporting more consistent application results. The product's compatibility with both hard and soft water conditions makes it suitable for use across diverse agricultural regions with varying water quality. Its stability across a range of pH levels supports formulation with different types of active ingredients, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
This nonionic surfactant demonstrates compatibility with a wide range of pesticide active ingredients and other formulation additives. It can be combined with anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and other nonionic adjuvants to build balanced formulation systems. The product remains stable under acidic and moderately alkaline conditions, accommodating the pH ranges typical of most agricultural chemical formulations. Formulators developing tank-mix adjuvant packages can incorporate this grade to improve the uniformity and wetting properties of spray solutions. Its 74.0-77.0°C cloud point ensures it remains fully dissolved and active at the temperatures commonly encountered during field spraying operations.
Manufacturing of 1307 Isotridecyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether follows standardized production protocols with comprehensive quality control measures. Each batch undergoes laboratory testing for water content, pH value, cloud point, color, and appearance using established analytical procedures. The production facility operates under ISO 9001 quality management systems, with traceability records maintained throughout the production cycle. Certificates of Analysis are provided with every shipment, giving agrochemical enterprise customers documented verification of product specifications.
