Overview
Triethylene glycol bis(2-ethyl hexanoate) (CAS 94-28-0 ), commercially known as 3GO, Eastman TEG-EH, or Proviplast 1783, is a synthetic ester plasticizer and functional fluid used across personal care, cleaning, and industrial lubrication markets.
It delivers low-volatility performance in formulations where controlled flexibility, lubricity, and moisture retention are required. In personal care formulations, 3GO functions as an emollient and humectant in skin creams and hair conditioners.
It is also utilized in leave-on treatments, providing a smooth, non-greasy skin feel without heavy residue. Industrial and metalworking lubricant formulators incorporate it as a base fluid or additive where thermal stability is a priority.
Low evaporation loss makes it ideal for high-performance systems. In home care and industrial cleaning products, it supports emulsification and dispersibility of active ingredients across aqueous and semi-aqueous systems.
Its compatibility with a broad range of polymers also makes it a candidate plasticizer in flexible coatings and specialty film applications. Triethylene glycol bis(2-ethyl hexanoate) is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid.
It is available in technical and industrial grades, with packaging options typically ranging from drums to IBC totes for bulk procurement. Buyers should confirm purity specifications and lot documentation directly with the supplier.
Grade designations vary by manufacturer, so technical data sheets should be reviewed. This versatile chemical ensures consistent performance across diverse manufacturing sectors and specialized industrial applications.
