Basic Info

Triethyl Citrate (TEC) is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly food additive raw material, mainly used as a plasticizer and flavor enhancer for food contact materials and food processing. Compared with traditional phthalate plasticizers, TEC has no potential carcinogenic risk, and complies with FDA and EU food safety regulations. It is widely used in candy coatings, chewing gum bases, food plastic packaging films and other scenarios, solving the safety hazards of traditional plasticizers migrating into food, providing healthy raw material solutions for food packaging and food processing enterprises.

Product Description

Product features:

The core advantages of food grade triethyl citrate lie in its high purity, low acid value and no pungent odor. It has good compatibility with most polymer materials, and can improve the flexibility of plastic packaging films without affecting the food safety of packaging materials. It can also slowly release flavors in candy and chewing gum, improving the taste and flavor retention of products. The product has a high flash point of 158°C, ensuring safe storage and transportation, and meets the production standards of food contact materials for direct contact with food.
