Industrial grade triacetin has a wide range of uses. In the chemical industry, it is often used as a plasticizer to endow plastic products with good flexibility, making them not easy to crack during processing and use, and improving product quality and durability. Because of its good solubility and stability, it is also a component of a variety of organic solvents, helping to dissolve resins, dyes and other substances, providing convenience for the production of coatings and inks, making products uniform and have good adhesion.

In the food industry, industrial grade triacetin plays a unique role. It can be used as a food additive to add food luster and taste, and extend shelf life. In some baked goods, it prevents grease precipitation, maintains product texture uniformity, and enhances flavor and appearance.
