Product Description
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PRODUCT: Tri-octyl Trimellitate (TOTM)
MOLECULAR FORMULA: C6H3(COOC8H17)3
TOTM is a clear, colorless, and almost odourless liquid. It is soluble in most organic solvents. TOTM is a primary plasticizer with excellent thermal stability and electrical properties. It also provides a good resistance to soapy-water extraction and weathering. TOTM is recommended to be used in high-temperature cable and wire, refrigerator gasket, and washable sheet.
