Tris(2-ethylhexyl) citrate

Description:

Tris(2-ethylhexyl) citrate, with the CAS number 7147-34-4, is an organic compound commonly used as a plasticizer and solvent in various applications, particularly in the production of flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. It is a triester formed from citric acid and 2-ethylhexanol, which contributes to its properties. This substance is characterized by its low volatility, good thermal stability, and compatibility with a wide range of polymers, making it an effective plasticizer. Tris(2-ethylhexyl) citrate is also known for being less toxic compared to traditional phthalate plasticizers, which has led to its increased use in food packaging and medical applications. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents while being insoluble in water. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like all chemicals, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines.
