What is Tridecyl trimellitate?
Tridecyl trimellitate (CAS 94109-09-8) is a trimellitate ester plasticizer and lubricant used in demanding polymer and industrial applications.
Where is Tridecyl trimellitate used?
- PVC compounding: primary plasticizer for wire and cable insulation, automotive interior components, and underhood parts
- Automotive sealing profiles and instrument panel skins: resistance to extraction and migration
- Lubricant formulations: synthetic base fluid or additive component in high-temperature greases and metalworking fluids
- Specialty coatings and adhesives: non-migrating plasticizing effect
- It delivers low volatility and high-temperature performance where conventional phthalate or adipate plasticizers fall short.
Commercial specifications
- Technical grade; purity confirmed by ester content and acid value
- Packaging in drums and IBC containers
