TEC, or triethyl citrate, is widely used in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications because it is a low-toxicity, low-odor citrate ester plasticizer with functions that support plasticization, solubility and flexibility adjustment. These characteristics make it suitable for formulations and materials where safety and sensory requirements are especially important.
Food-contact materials, pharmaceutical products and cosmetic formulations often require ingredients with low odor and appropriate safety characteristics. As an environmentally friendly citrate ester plasticizer, TEC is valued for its low-toxicity and low-odor profile, helping it meet the needs of applications with high sensory expectations.
Beyond its role as a plasticizer, TEC can provide several practical functions in relevant formulations:
TEC has good compatibility with a range of resins and natural polymers. This compatibility supports its use in different application systems, including pharmaceutical coatings, cosmetic products, flavors and fragrances, and food-contact material formulations.
Henan GO Biotech Co., Ltd. supplies TEC as part of its environmentally friendly plasticizer portfolio. TEC is commonly considered for drug coating systems, cosmetic formulations, flavors and fragrances, and food-contact materials that require a combination of plasticization, solubility support and flexibility while maintaining high safety and sensory standards.
