Tridecane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)11CH3. It is a light, combustible colourless liquid that is used in the manufacture of paraffin products, the paper processing industry, in jet-fuel research and in the rubber industry; furthermore, tridecane is used as a solvent and distillation chaser. n-tridecane is also one of the major chemicals secreted by some insects as a defense against predators.
