Citroflex™ A-2 citric acid esters are bio-degradable polymer additives that offer enhanced flexibility and low warping characteristics with cellulose acetate.
Aurorium Citroflex™ A-2 (acetyl triethyl citrate) is an excellent plasticizer for food packaging plastics. It is also used as a fixative for perfumes and as a plasticizer and film strengthening agent in hair sprays, and nail polishes, as well as a component of various ink formulations.
Aurorium lower molecular weight citric acid esters (Citroflex™ C-2, A-2, C-4, and A-4) plasticize similarly to lower molecular weight phthalates, adipates, and sebacates in a variety of polymers.

Aurorium Citroflex™ plasticizers offer low toxicity, high flash points, and rapid biodegradability for cellulosic derivatives and natural resins.
Citroflex™ provides a wide range of benefits and excellent for use as plasticizers in aqueous- and solvent-based polymers, including acrylics, cellulosic polymers, vinyl acetates, vinyl, and urethane polymer systems.
Aurorium Citroflex™ citric acid esters are commonly known as plastics additives, but they are also highly effective coalescing agents in paints and coating formulations.
