Glycerol tribenzoate is widely used as a plasticizer in various polymer systems, particularly in cellulose-based plastics and vinyl resins. It enhances the flexibility, durability, and processing properties of these materials, making it suitable for applications in films, coatings, and adhesives. Additionally, it is employed in the production of printing inks and lacquers, where it improves gloss and adhesion properties. Its compatibility with a range of polymers and its ability to provide stability at high temperatures make it a valuable additive in industrial formulations.
