Description

Tri-n-Amyl Citrate is a high-purity, non-phthalate citrate ester derived from citric acid and n-amyl alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile, high-performance plasticizer and additive, offering excellent compatibility with a wide range of polymers and resins. It is particularly valuable for industries requiring specialized, low-volatility, and low-migration additives for sensitive applications.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose acetate, and other specialty polymers.
• Functional additive in adhesives and sealants to enhance flexibility and durability.
• Solvent and carrier fluid in specialty inks, coatings, and lubricant formulations.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
• Additive in personal care products and cosmetics as an emollient or solvent.
• Plasticizer for food-contact grade polymers and packaging materials.
• Component in high-temperature resistant cable and wire insulation compounds.
• Additive in medical device polymers where low extractability is critical.
