Product Description

Triethyl Citrate (TEC)

 

Triethyl Citrate Oil:

Triethyl Citrate (TEC) is a colorless transparent liquid that functions as an eco-friendly plasticizer. As a specialty chemical, TEC has gained popularity for its versatility and compliance with the latest environmental standards. In this product introduction, we will delve into the properties, applications, and advantages of TEC.

 

TEC Properties:

TEC is a colorless transparent liquid with a boiling point of 235°C (at 20KPa) and a flash point of approximately 155°C. With a melting point of -20°C (at 101.3KPa), TEC exhibits solubility in most organic solvents and slight solubility in oils. This odorless liquid is considered an innocuous plasticizer.

  

TEC Applications:

Triethyl citrate finds various applications in different industries. It acts as a plasticizer in adhesives, inks, sealants, plastics, and coatings, primarily to soften the polymer and adjust viscosity. In the personal care sector, it serves as a solvent, diluent, and perfume fixative. Additionally, it's an active ingredient in deodorants.

1. Plasticizer for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC):

TEC is widely used as a plasticizer for PVC and similar plastics. It enhances their flexibility, processability, and durability. TEC is a preferred choice in applications involving PVC-based products, including packaging materials, toys, and medical devices.

2. Food Additive:

TEC serves as an additive in various food products. It functions as a bulk retention agent, improving the foaming property and bulk state of baked goods. TEC is also employed as an antioxidant to stabilize edible oils, such as soybean oil, salad oil, margarine, and shortening.

3. Personal Care and Cosmetics:

TEC finds applications in the personal care industry. It functions as a flavor enhancer in soft drinks, cold drinks, candies, confectioneries, and baked goods. Additionally, TEC serves as a chelating agent, carrier solvent, and ingredient in pharmaceutical coatings and plastics. It is commonly used in children's soft toys and cosmetics manufacturing.


In the realm of cosmetics, Starsbiotec provides grades sourced exclusively from natural raw materials. This particular grade also doubles as an aroma or flavor carrier within the food industry, all with the added assurance of an ECOCERT/COSMOS certification.
