Description

Triethyl Acetyl Citrate is a high-purity citrate ester derivative valued for its excellent plasticizing properties and low toxicity. This compound serves as a key additive, offering superior compatibility and performance in sensitive applications where safety and stability are paramount. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the plastics, food packaging, and pharmaceutical industries for its role as a non-toxic plasticizer and solvent.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose acetate, and other polymers in food-contact films and packaging.
• Solvent and fixative in the production of cosmetics, perfumes, and personal care products.
• Additive in pharmaceutical coatings and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Plasticizer for children's toys and medical devices requiring high biocompatibility.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fine organic compounds.
• Additive in adhesives and sealants to improve flexibility and processing.
• Component in inks and coatings requiring low odor and high purity.
