Isotridecanoic Acid

Isotridecanoic Acid (IDA) is a branched C13 carboxylic acid developed for cosmetic ingredients and high‑performance lubricant ester production. Its branched structure supports efficient esterification and yields esters with a smooth, lightweight skin feel—making it well suited for skincare and color‑cosmetic formulations—while also serving as a reliable intermediate for synthetic POE esters and lubricant additives. Easy to process and thermally stable, IDA helps deliver consistent performance and improved end‑product sensory and durability.
