Eastman Triacetin is used as a plasticizer for cellulosic resins and is useful for imparting plasticity and flow to laminating resins. It is also used as a plasticizer for vinylidene polymers and copolymers. It is an ingredient in inks for printing on plastics, and as a plasticizer in nail polish.
Triacetin as a Secondary PVC Plasticizer | SpringerLink
In this study, a glycerol derivative plasticizer (triacetin—TAG) was tested as a secondary plasticizer for PVC. TAG was added to PVC formulations from 10 up to 20 phr. The increase of the plasticizer content had a great influence on the properties of PVC samples.
Effectiveness of triacetin and triethyl citrate as
The main objective of this work was to investigate the applicability of two natural based plasticizers (triacetin (TRI) and triethyl citrate (TEC)) in two polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with similar molecular weight but different hydrolysis degree (88% and 99%).
TT-141A Eastman Triacetin Non-Phthalate Plasticizer
Triacetin is compatible with many other plasticizers, such as Benzoflex 50 plasticizer, Eastman Effusion plasticizer, and Eastman TXIB formulation additive, and can be blended to yield the desired final properties. Eastman Triacetin can be used alone or in combination with the other plasticizers shown to optimize the T g suppression
Eastman Triacetin - plasticizer for cellulosic resins
Eastman Triacetin is useful for imparting plasticity and flow to laminating resins, particularly at low temperatures, and is also used as a plasticizer for vinylidene polymers and copolymers. It serves as an ingredient in inks for printing on plastics, and as a plasticizer in nail polish.
- What is Eastman triacetin used for?
- It serves as an ingredient in inks for printing on plastics, and as a plasticizer in nail polish. For food additive applications, Eastman supplies Eastman™ Triacetin, Kosher, Food Grade, and Eastman™ Triacetin, Food Grade, which are made under appropriate current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) for these applications.
- Is tri a good plasticizer?
- A few researchers incorporated TRI or TEC as plasticizer in polymers such as PLA [7, 8] and PVC with reported reduction of glass transition temperature and melting temperature suggesting improvement in flexibility and processibility.
- Do plasticizers reduce melting point and glass transition temperature?
- These plasticizers were reported to be able to reduce the melting point (Tm) [4,5] and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PVA in which the low molecular weight compounds modifies the organizational of PVA matrices and decreases the intermolecular interaction forces.
