Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 5.9% in H1 2026, climbing from USD 3.40/KG in Q1 to USD 3.60/KG by Q2 as recovering industrial cleaning, metalworking fluid, and textile wet processing surfactant formulation procurement and firmer tridecyl alcohol and ethylene oxide feedstock costs reversed the brief Q3 2025 market dip. Globally, the average rose from USD 2.447/KG in Q1 to USD 2.594/KG in Q2, a 6.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 2.62-2.94/KG is expected, with continued firming on Middle East supply disruptions and growing industrial cleaning, metalworking, and specialty surfactant sector demand globally.
Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol is a nonionic surfactant produced by catalytic ethoxylation of iso-tridecyl alcohol, a C13 branched fatty alcohol from Guerbet or OXO synthesis of propylene tetramer feedstocks, with ethylene oxide over alkaline catalysts at elevated temperature and pressure. Commercial grades span ethoxylation degrees of three to twenty moles per molecule, determining the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance and application suitability. The branched iso-tridecyl alcohol substrate provides superior low-temperature cloud point performance, faster wetting, and reduced foaming versus linear alcohol ethoxylates of equivalent ethylene oxide content. The largest pull comes from institutional and industrial hard surface cleaning formulations leveraging low-foam wetting and emulsification performance in floor care, kitchen, and all-purpose cleaning concentrates. Metalworking and machining fluid emulsification, textile wetting and scouring agent, agricultural adjuvant spray emulsification, and oilfield emulsifier applications add further demand. Paper and pulp processing wetting agent applications add consistent volumes. Iso-tridecyl alcohol and ethylene oxide feedstock costs, industrial cleaning and metalworking sector output, and regional surfactant production capacity all feed into the price.
Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol through H2 2026 leans moderately firm. Iso-tridecyl alcohol and ethylene oxide feedstock costs firmed from Middle East petrochemical supply disruptions. Industrial cleaning, metalworking fluid, and textile processing demand are growing with expanding manufacturing output and industrial facility cleaning investment globally.
The main upside risk is tridecyl alcohol and ethylene oxide feedstock cost increases alongside accelerating metalworking and industrial cleaning demand. The main downside risk is Chinese alcohol ethoxylate production surplus maintaining competitive price pressure below the forecast range.

Prices respond mainly to iso-tridecyl alcohol and ethylene oxide feedstock costs, industrial cleaning and metalworking fluid procurement cycles, and textile processing output. Propylene and ethylene prices are key upstream cost signals.
Europe and North America hold the major iso-tridecyl alcohol and ethoxylation capacity, with growing Chinese production. Any tridecyl alcohol or ethylene oxide cost shift ripples across markets within one quarter.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time industrial cleaning and metalworking formulation contracts around feedstock cost cycles, build cover when ethylene oxide signals tighten, and monitor manufacturing output as the primary demand signal.
