Tri(tridecyl) Trimellitate
Tri(tridecyl) trimellitate (also called tridecyl trimellitate; CAS 94109-09-8) is the triester of trimellitic acid and tridecyl alcohol. It is described as a clear, viscous, colorless-to-pale-yellow liquid. Commercial tridecyl feedstocks may contain a distribution of alkyl chains, so the name alone does not specify every component or grade property.
Supplier and ingredient listings describe uses in personal-care formulations, including emollient or skin-conditioning and texture functions, as well as industrial specialty formulations such as plasticizers and lubricant-related additives. These are reported formulation applications, not evidence of approval for any particular product or jurisdiction. Suitability depends on grade, formulation compatibility, performance data, and applicable regulations; use supplier specifications and safety documentation to assess a particular application.
– Personal-care formulations: Ingredient listings describe tridecyl trimellitate as an emollient or skin-conditioning ingredient that can contribute to a soft, lubricious feel. Confirm that the supplied grade is intended for the relevant formulation and meets its purity, quality, and jurisdictional requirements. This use description is not a therapeutic claim or a statement of universal regulatory approval.
– Color cosmetics: Cosmetic ingredient sources also describe roles such as improving spread or texture and helping disperse pigments in suitable anhydrous or oil-containing systems. Assess pigment wetting, uniformity, sensory properties, stability, and compatibility with other ingredients in the specific formula; do not assume a fixed use level or performance across products.
– Polymer and elastomer formulations: It is reported as a specialty plasticizer or performance additive in compatible systems. Evaluate the actual grade for compatibility, viscosity, volatility, migration, thermal and oxidative stability, and the required mechanical properties. Use supplier data and application-specific regulatory review rather than generalizing from the chemical name.
