TOTM - Trioctyl Trimellitate
“It is a good plasticizer used in all PVC resin and copolymer applications.”
Kimsan Petrokimya
Usage Areas
It is a good plasticizer used in all PVC resin and copolymer applications.
In applications requiring insulation; It is used in gaskets, automotive interior parts and automotive electrical parts, and wire and cable insulation.
Advantages
- TOTM does not contain ortho phthalates, the use of which is restricted or prohibited, especially in European Union countries.
- TOTM is a plasticizer with high boiling point and good low temperature performance. Therefore, it shows resistance to deterioration across a wide range of temperatures.
- TOTM is a material that is highly resistant to chemical agents and external influences, and therefore resists yellowing due to light during processing. (It supports heat and light stabilizers.)
- TOTM has high dielectric resistance and is used especially in applications requiring insulation (Cable) such as 105 °C.
- TOTM is a good complement to polymeric plasticizers and a good alternative to plasticizers such as Dioctyl Sabecate.
- TOTM gives excellent results in products where high volatility resistance is required. It is especially preferred in applications where very low fogging (smoke) at high temperatures and very good non-cracking resistance at low temperatures are required (automotive, cable…).
- TOTM can withstand 210 °C / 4 hours of acid vapor
- It does not cause any change in the chemical structure of the polymer.
- In general, all polymeric substances can be gelled easily and quickly.
