Tri-isodecyl trimellitate (TIDTM) is a monomeric plasticizer useful in PVC and other chlorinated thermoplastic that must withstand a temperature of 105 °C. TIDTM, due to its higher boiling point, has the properties of zero volatility and no migration. It is extremely resistant to the aqueous agents but quite sensible to the oils and hydrocarbons. TIDTM is very stable to the action of chemical and external agents. For this reason, it does not produce yellowishness in processing due to the effect of light. TIDTM has high dielectric resistance. For this reason, it is an ideal plasticizer for electrical wire. TIDTM has lower volatility and higher molecular weight than TM C9 and can be used as antifogging as it does not reach 0.5 mg in the air.
