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 plasticizer
It was found that, at a fixed amount of plasticizer (10%), TRI caused reduction of glass transition temperature (Tg) and melt temperature (Tm) in both PVA with the largest reduction in 88% hydrolysed PVA while TEC showed insignificant changes of Tg and slight reduction of Tm suggesting higher effectiveness of plasticization in 88% hydrolysed PVA
Triacetin | Eastman
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.
Technical tip Eastman Triacetin non-phthalate plasticizer
formulation, blends of Eastman Triacetin with our other plasticizers mentioned can achieve the desired balance of viscosity and T g suppression. Other applications Eastman Triacetin is used as a highly effective non-phthalate plasticizer for cellulosic resins and is compatible in all proportions with cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, and ethyl
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.
- 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.
