Triethylene glycol bis(2-ethyl hexanoate)

Triethylene glycol bis(2-ethyl hexanoate) (CAS 94-28-0) is a synthetic ester plasticizer and functional fluid. Also marketed as 3GO, Eastman TEG-EH, or Proviplast 1783.

Where is Triethylene glycol bis(2-ethyl hexanoate) used?

• Personal care: emollient and humectant in skin creams and hair conditioners
• Leave-on treatments: smooth, non-greasy skin feel without heavy residue
• Industrial and metalworking lubricants: base fluid or additive where thermal stability is a priority
• Home care and industrial cleaning: supports emulsification and dispersibility of active ingredients in aqueous and semi-aqueous systems
• Flexible coatings and specialty films: candidate plasticizer compatible with a broad range of polymers
• It delivers low-volatility performance where controlled flexibility, lubricity, and moisture retention are required.

Good to know: Grade designations vary by manufacturer, so technical data sheets should be reviewed. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and lot documentation directly with the supplier.
