MORFLEX 560
(Tri-n-hexyl Trimellitate)
C27H42O6
The major use for tri-n-hexyl trimellitate is as a plasticizer for PVC and its
copolymers. It provides the excellent compatibility and efficiency properties of
monomerics together with the permanence properties of many polymerics.
Vinyls plasticized with this ester find application in variety of markets including
automotive and furniture upholstery, wire coatings and gasketing materials.
