Trimellitate plasticizers
Jayflex™ trimellitate plasticizers are used in automotive interiors, as well as wire and cable applications, that require resistance to very high temperatures, migration and extraction resistance over long durations.
They have extremely low volatility and are typically used in high-specification electrical cable insulation and sheathing (meeting Underwriters Laboratories standards), usually in blends with the high molecular-weight phthalates such as Jayflex™ DTDP plasticizers.
Jayflex linear trimellitate plasticizer extends the performance to applications that require lower temperature flexibility or greater UV stability such as Class C automotive cables and wind turbine tray cables, etc.
