REACH Registration Number: 01-2119487462-32-0001

The CEREPLAS™ trimellitate range of specialty esters for use as plasticizers or as base esters in functional fluids, consists of a number of grades produced by the controlled esterification of various alcohols with trimellitic anhydride.

CEREPLAS™ OTM is a trimellitate ester of 2-ethyl hexanol, it is a clear, almost colourless and odourless liquid, miscible with inert organic solvents but immiscible with water.

CEREPLAS™ OTM is designed for use in flexible PVC applications where low volatility and resistance to high temperature environments is required, typically in high temperature cables. The low rates of migration of CEREPLAS™ OTM from PVC ensures long service life and is strongly recommended for low “fogging” applications such as automotive internal trim.

CEREPLAS™ OTM STAB I is a stabilised version of CEREPLAS™ OTM. Stabiliser is added to prevent the oxidative degradation of rubber and plastics that causes a loss of strength and flexibility in these materials.
