Description

Trioleyl Citrate is a high-purity, non-toxic ester derived from citric acid and oleyl alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile and effective plasticizer and lubricant additive, prized for its excellent compatibility with various polymer systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, personal care, and specialty lubricants industries seeking bio-based and low-volatility alternatives.

Application

• Primary Plasticizer for PVC, polyurethane, and other polymers requiring enhanced flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Lubricant and Processing Aid in polymer extrusion and molding to reduce internal friction and improve flow characteristics.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredient acting as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup.
• Food Contact Material Additive for packaging films and gaskets, leveraging its potential as a non-toxic migratory substance.
• Textile Auxiliary used as a softener and lubricant for synthetic fibers and yarns.
• Adhesive and Sealant Formulation component to modify viscosity and improve adhesion properties.

Quality Control

Our Trioleyl Citrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and color are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve product integrity.
