DI-C12-13 alkyl Pareth-10 phosphate is chemically a mixture of different, synthetically produced di-esters (DI= acroynm for the twofold ester) of C12-13 aliphatic alcohols(alkanols) and a polyoxyethylene ether of synthetic fatty alcohols(Pareth). The C numbering "C n-nx" preceding the ester designation (alkyl fumarate) indicates the number or range of alkyl (carbon) chain lengths. In the di-ester "DI-C12-13 alkyl pareth-10 phosphate" the alkyl chain length consists of 12-13 C atoms and is used as emollient in cosmetic products.
