CAS 1163775-81-2: 1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed lauryl and octyl triesters

Description:1,2,4-Benzenetricarboxylic acid, mixed lauryl and octyl triesters, also known as tri-lauryl-octyl benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from lauric and octanoic acids. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its low volatility and relatively high stability under normal conditions. It exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a plasticizer and lubricant in polymer formulations. The presence of multiple carboxylic acid groups contributes to its potential for forming hydrogen bonds, which can enhance its compatibility with other materials. Additionally, the mixed alkyl chains (lauryl and octyl) provide a balance between hydrophobicity and flexibility, influencing its physical properties such as viscosity and melting point. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
