Application
Triacetin is used for the solidification of acetyl cellulose fibres in the manufacture of cigarette
filters. The water content must be kept constant to achieve constant solidification.
Triacetin is also used as a support for flavourings and essences in the food industry and as a
plasticiser for chewing gum.
In technical applications, Triacetin is used for example as a core sand binder in the metal
foundry sector. Another application is inks and printing inks. Triacetin is used as a highly-
effective plasticiser for cellulose-based plastics.
