Overview of Triacetin

Triacetin, also known as glyceryl triacetate, is a versatile ester plasticiser and solvent widely used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, tobacco products, polymers, and speciality industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically, Triacetin is the triester of glycerol and acetic acid, valued for its excellent compatibility, stability, and low volatility.

From a molecular perspective, the triacetin structure consists of a glycerol backbone fully esterified with three acetate groups, which gives it strong plasticising and solvency properties. Triacetin appears as a clear, colourless, oily liquid with a mild odour. It has a relatively high triacetin boiling point of approximately 258–260 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature industrial applications. Due to its performance profile, triacetin uses are predominantly industrial and formulation-based.
