BASF Palatinol® TOTM Tri Octyl Trimellitate

Formula: C33H54O6Description: Palatinol® TOTM is a primary branched monomeric plasticizer for vinyl homopolymer and copolymer resins. Palatinol TOTM is suggested for use in those end-use areas where extreme low volatility is required. Palatinol TOTM can be blended with Palatinol 11P-E to optimize cost-performance in medium to high temperature compounds. Palatinol TOTM is available with 0.1% by weight of 1,1,3-tris (2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-t-butylphenyl) butaneApplications: Palatinol TOTM provides desirable properties in vinyl applications which require good plasticizer/resin compatibility, low volatility, resistance to extraction by soapy water and good electrical properties. Palatinol TOTM is often a good substitute for polyester polymeric plasticizers in low volatility applications where improvements in processing are desired. Palatinol TOTM is suitable alone or in combination with Palatinol 11P-E for: 90° and 105° wire insulation and interior automotive applications (instrument panel skins).Information provided by BASF
