  • Applications

    Trioleyl Citrate, CAS 175831-77-3, is the triester of citric acid with oleyl alcohol. As a lipophilic, long-chain ester, it is commonly used as a plasticizer for polymers and coatings to improve flexibility and film performance, and it finds application in coatings and inks. Its solvency and lipid-compatible character make it suitable as an emollient and solvent/carrier for fragrance components and actives in cosmetics and personal care; it can also act as a solvent or processing aid in household cleaning products. In pharmaceutical contexts it may serve as an excipient or solvent for topical or oral formulations, subject to regulatory and formulation limits.
