  • Applications

    Trilauryl citrate (CAS 65277-53-4) is a non-phthalate citrate ester widely used as a plasticizer for flexible polymers, notably PVC, improving flexibility and processability. It also serves as a processing aid and solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and a solvent for fragrance oils and active ingredients. It may be used as a carrier or solvent in fragrance formulations and perfumery. Additionally, it can function as a high-boiling solvent in cleaning formulations for industrial and household products.
