Effectiveness of triacetin and triethyl citrate as
Abstract. 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%). The PVA and plasticizers were mixed by solvent blending method and the PVA

Triacetin is commonly used as a plasticizer for cellulose acetate fibers in cigarette filters, and its determination is important for good quality control on the final filter prosduct. For this reason an infrared method has been developed for the determination of triacetin in the cigarette filters. The triacetin is extracted from the filters wit.h benzene and the extract examined with an

Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Triacetin
1985). According to Yalkowsky and Roseman (1979), Triacetin stabilized PGE. Triacetin had wide use in foundry applications as a curing agent for phenol resins used in the manufacture of sand molds (Unichema International 1996). It is used as a cellulose acetate plasticizer in the manufacture of cigarette lters, a tobacco hu-

It is used as an antifungal agent in external medicine for topical treatment of superficial fungal infections of the skin. Triacetin is applied to cigarette filter as a plasticizer. It is used as a gelatinizing agent in explosives. Chemical composition: Glyceryl triacetate CAS reg. no.: 102-76-1 EC / List no.: 203-051-9 CAS no.: 102-76-1
- Is triacetin a plasticizer?
- For many copolymers and vinylidene polymers, nitrocellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate, triacetin is being used as a plasticizer. Triacetin is produced in a batch-wise contained reaction of glycerol, acetic anhydride and acetic acid.
- What plastiziser is used for cellulose acetate filters?
- Triacetin is the most commonly used plastiziser for cellulose acetate filters. To get a sufficient hardness target values for triacetin vary typically between approximately 6 and 9 % of the total filter weight. The application takes place in a spraying chamber where triacetin is applied to the filter tow as an aqueous aerosol.
- How is triacetin applied to a filter tow?
- The application takes place in a spraying chamber where triacetin is applied to the filter tow as an aqueous aerosol. Different technical parameters of the spraying chamber, such as the number of brushes and their speed, are adjusted to achieve the most consistent application of triacetin.
- How long can triacetin be stored?
- Triacetin is a clear, colourless acetate ester used for example in the manufacture of cigarette filters. Triacetin is also used for plasticising NBR and cellulose derivatives. Under suitable conditions, Triacetin can be stored for one year. Triacetin can be stored in a stainless steel tank (V4A; material no. 1.4571 [AISI 316Ti]).
- How is triacetin measured?
- For production control purposes, the triacetin content is normally monitored by the weight difference between "dry" and wet filter rods.
- What is the use of triacetin in nail polish?
- In the cosmetic industry, nail polish contains the use of triacetin as plasticizing agent. The product is used in the manufacturing of Cellulose Acetate, which in turn, is used in the manufacturing of cigarette filters.
