Basic Info
Triacetin, also known as triacetic acid, is an oily, colorless liquid that is obtained from the esterification (under acid catalyst action) of propylene glycerol (glycerol), ethanol (acetic) or acetic ahydride (acetic ahydride). In the cigarette industry, triacetin is used primarily for plasticizing and curing acetate fibre filter rods.
It is an intermediate in many fine chemicals. It can be used for printing and dyeing, adhesive additives, antistatic agents, and as a cellulose acetate. In China, it is used primarily as an adhesive plasticizer in cigarette filters. The market demand for this product is growing year after year.

Product Packaging
•1. Food Industry
In the food industry triacetin serves as a multi-functional additive. It is used primarily as an emulsifier. It is used to improve texture and taste, reduce moisture loss and extend shelf life. In chocolate production, for example, it can keep the product soft and smooth by preventing fat crystallization. It is also used to enhance the flexibility of plastic film and ensure food safety.
•2. Tobacco industry
Triacetin can be used as a plasticizer in cigarette filters. Triacetin can improve the hardness and flexibility of acetate fibre filter rods. It also enhances the smoking quality and reduces harmful substances. To ensure product stability, the tobacco industry requires triacetin ester purity levels of >= 99%.
•3. Pharmaceutical industry
Triacetin is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent and drug carrier to increase the bioavailability and solubility of drugs. Triacetin is used to control drug release and improve stability in topical medications (such as gels, creams and soft capsules). Its low toxicity, good biocompatibility and high stability make it an excipient of choice.
•4. Cosmetics and Personal care
Triacetin can be used as a fixative, wetting agent, solvent and solvent in cosmetics. It is often used in shampoo, face creams, lotions and perfumes. Triacetin can increase the moisturizing and extensibility of the product. It is also suitable for formulas that are intended for sensitive skin due to its low irritation.
•5. Plastics and Coatings Industry
Triacetin, as a plasticizer is used to improve the durability and flexibility of materials such as nitrocellulose and synthetic rubber. As a solvent, Triacetin can be used to improve the flowability and drying of coatings and inks.
•6. Environmental Protection and Energy
As an additive to biodiesel, triacetylglycerol ester can improve the flowability of the fuel at low temperatures and its combustion efficiency. It has also been used for green chemical syntheses, such as using waste oils to reduce pollution.
