Applications
With good high/low temperature property, trimellitate TMT-2, TMT-3, TMT-4 and TMT-5 are well known as the basicstock for the synthetic ester type high temperature chain oil with the characterestics of higher viscosity comapared with pentaerythritol esters,in the meanwhile the amount of thickener additive may be decreased resulting in the better high temperature property,TOTM and TMT-4 also as the main plasticizer for plastic industry.
