Citroflex® 2 offers limited solubility in oils and improved resistance to grease stains. It also imparts improved light-fastness to lacquer formulations. In the personal care area, C-2 is used as a fixative for perfumes and as a plasticizer and film strengthening agent in hair sprays, nail polishes, and as an active in deodorants. Citroflex® 2 does not support fungal growth.
The lower molecular weight citric acid esters (Citroflex C-2, A-2, C-4, and A-4) have plasticization characteristics similar to those of the lower molecular weight phthalates, adipates, and sebacates in a variety of polymers. When used as an active in deodorant applications, Citroflex® 2 works by inhibiting esterase activity in bacteria.

Citroflex® citric acid esters provide a wide range of benefits when used as plasticizers with aqueous- and solvent-based polymers. Citroflex® esters offer formulators a unique combination of environmentally friendly features by combining efficient plasticization with low toxicity, high flash points and rapid biodegradability.
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.
Citroflex® is a range of citric acid esters from Vertellus that offer multiple functionalities and performance benefits for polymer systems. Citroflex® products are commonly known as plasticizers and plastics additives, but they are also very effective coalescing agents when used in paints and coating formulations.
