Triacetin E1518 CAS 102-76-1

BLIT Chemical Triacetin is a colorless, odorless liquid used in a wide range of industrial, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. It is commonly used as a plasticizer, a solvent, and a humectant. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient in the manufacture of foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products.

Triacetin is a glycerol ester and is primarily used in the production of plastics, to enhance flexibility in cellulose-based products, and as a solvent for various resins and oils. Additionally, it is a common humectant in cosmetic formulations, where it helps to retain moisture in skin care products.

Specification:

Application:

Plasticizer in the Production of Cellulose Derivatives: Triacetin is widely used as a plasticizer for cellulose acetate films and fibers, improving the flexibility and durability of the material.

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Use: It is commonly used in cosmetic products as a humectant, which helps in retaining moisture in skin care formulations. Additionally, Triacetin is used as a solvent in pharmaceutical formulations.

Food Additive: Triacetin is used as a food additive (E1518) to enhance the stability and flavor of food products. It is also used in flavoring, coloring, and as a carrier for fat-soluble flavors.

Solvent and Carrier in Industrial Applications: Triacetin is used as a solvent for various chemicals, including resins, oils, and aromatic compounds.

Usage Guidelines:

In Plastics: Typically used in concentrations ranging from 1% to 10% by weight, depending on the desired flexibility and properties of the plastic product.

In Cosmetics: Used as a humectant at concentrations between 0.5% and 5%, depending on the formulation.

In Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solvent or plasticizer for various drugs, generally in low concentrations to ensure proper stability and drug release characteristics.

Inhalation: Triacetin is considered non-toxic when used properly, but prolonged inhalation of vapors should be avoided.

Skin Contact: Generally safe for skin contact in dilute concentrations but may cause irritation in sensitive individuals.

Eye Contact: Can cause mild irritation if contact occurs. Rinse eyes with plenty of water in case of contact.
