| What is Eastman triacetin, and how is it used? |
| |
| Eastman triacetin (glyceryl triacetate) is a plasticizer for cellulose resins and is compatible in all proportions with cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, and ethyl cellulose. Eastman triacetin imparts plasticity and flow to laminating resins, particularly at low temperature, and is also a plasticizer for vinylidene polymers and copolymers. As a specialty solvent, this product has low volatility and low toxicity. In some pharmaceutical preparations, this product is a solvent and a carrier for flavoring agents. Applications also include compounding perfumes as a solvent and a fixative. Eastman triacetin can also be used in inks for printing on plastics and nonabsorbent surfaces. For additional information about triacetin, see Eastman publication L-148. |
