Sodium Tridecanoate—Phosphate-Free Detergent Builder

Product Features:
1. Sodium tridecanoate, also known as sodium methyl oxide salt, is an addition compound with advantages such as being non-toxic, pollution-free, and having strong detergency. It also features bleaching, emulsification, sterilization, washing, and good water solubility.
2. It is an inorganic salt appearing as a white granular powder. Its aqueous solution is alkaline and hydrolyzes into tridecanoic acid and sodium oxide when dissolved in water. It is particularly effective in removing carbon black!
3. Commonly used as an additive in high-grade detergent powders or phosphate-free detergent powders, it boasts exceptional detergency, making it suitable for formulating foam-free spray degreasing powders. It also has bleaching and descaling effects and can effectively increase dissolved oxygen during cleaning to reduce bacterial growth. Its advantages over other additives like sodium tripolyphosphate include superior storage stability and excellent compatibility with other powder components, making it unparalleled and irreplaceable. Chemically, the key difference lies in sodium tridecanoate being an addition compound, whereas other inorganic salts are products of straight-chain carbon bonds. However, due to its tendency to hydrolyze easily in water, it is challenging to formulate liquid detergents with sodium tridecanoate. Nonetheless, some industry practitioners are experimenting with adding protective agents to develop liquid detergents.
4. The multifunctionality of detergents, combining cleaning with bleaching, sterilization, disinfection, and carbon removal, has become a development trend in the industry. Many foreign detergents include bleaching components, and domestic products are gradually moving in this direction. Sodium tridecanoate, being phosphate-free, non-toxic, pollution-free, easily soluble in cold water, and having strong detergency, releases oxides upon dissolution to provide multiple functions such as bleaching and sterilization, aligning with the modern direction of detergent development. Currently, sodium tridecanoate is widely used in household and industrial detergents.
