INCI name
Trideceth-9
Trideceth-9 is a tridecyl alcohol ethoxylate with 9-mole ethylene oxide, a biodegradable nonionic surfactant with good emulsifying properties. It is a water soluble, clear to slightly hazy liquid without odor.
It exhibits exceptional wetting and lubricating properties, relatively low foaming, and good detergency performance. It can be used in various applications and emulsifying complexes, such as cleansers, face wash, perfume, and decorative cosmetics.
In personal care applications, Trideceth-9 is used as an emulsifier (HLB value of 13.2), dispersant, and solubilizer. It is a versatile homogenizing agent for cosmetic formulations that also improves the final product's sensory profile.
In addition, Trideceth-9 is a good solubilizer for fragrances and oils. Its pH value in a 5% aqueous solution is about 6.0 – 7.5. It is classified as rapidly biodegradable and has low aquatic and mammalian toxicity.Synonyms
