GENERAL
DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
|
| Triacetin,
triacetate ester of glycerol,
is a clear, combustible and oily liquid with a bitter taste and a fatty odor.
It is slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohol and ether.
It has properties of both glycerol and acetate. Diacetin
(CAS RN: 25395-31-7) and nonoacetin (CAS RN: 26446-35-5)
are glycerin diacetate and glycerin monoacetate respectively.
Triacetin is found
in some food like butter as it is used as a food additive
for the solvency of flavourings for the function of
humectant. It is used in perfumery and cosmetics for
these applications. It is used as an antifungal agent in
external medicine for topical treatment of superficial fungal infections of the skin.
Triacetin is applied to cigarette filter as a plasticizer. It
is used as a gelatinizing agent in explosives. |
