trimellitate
esters are ester fluids with high
viscosities for use as specialty lubricants and greases base
stocks. Their application include compressor fluids, two stroke
oils, greases, chain oils
The main advantages of the trimellitate based
esters are;
Low volatility, good heat stability, good stability
to oxidation, high film strength, good low temperature properties
and good hydrolytic stability

These materials are produced by the esterification
of a range of alcohols with trimellitic anhydride (TMA), which
is similar in structure to phthalic anhydride with the exception
of a third functionality on the aromatic ring. Consequently,
esters are produced in the ratio of three moles of alcohol
to one mole of anhydride. Common esters in this family are
Tris-2-ethyhexyl trimellitate (Tri-octyl trimellitate - TOTM),
L79TM (an ester of mixed semi-linear C7 and C9 alcohols, and
L810TM, an ester of mixed C8 and C10 linear alcohols.
The principle features of these esters, when
processed with PVC, are their low volatility, and consequently
large volumes of trimellitate esters are used in high specification
electrical cable insulation and sheathing. The extraction
and migration resistance of these materials are also significantly
improved relative to the phthalates. The low volatile loss
also results in usage in automotive interior applications
where the issue of windscreen fogging is important. In this
respect they often compete with the linear high molecular
weight phthalates such as 911P.
AVAILABILITY
DIOLUBE ESTERS are available in tank cars, tank trucks and 210 liters drums. Samples are available through Daman Organomer Customer Service.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
All DIOLUBE ESTERS can be warehoused in unopened containers at ambient
conditions. Please review the latest Material Safety Data
Sheet before working with these materials.
