  • Applications

    Trimethylolpropane trilaurate (CAS 25268-73-9) is the triester of trimethylolpropane and lauric acid; in industry it is commonly used as a plasticizer and diluent for polymer and coating formulations, such as PVC, alkyd resins, and paints. It is also employed as a lubricity additive in industrial manufacturing and metalworking fluids, and can function as an emollient and carrier in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate for the synthesis of other fatty acid esters and specialty chemicals, and can act as a processing aid in paints, inks, and adhesives.
