Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/caprate (TMPTCC)

Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Caprate (TMPTCC) – Premium Synthetic Ester Lubricant

Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/caprate (TMPTCC)

Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Caprate (TMPTCC) is a specialty synthetic ester widely used in formulating high-performance industrial lubricants. As a saturated ester derived from trimethylolpropane and medium-chain fatty acids (caprylic and capric acids), TMPTCC offers an excellent balance of thermal stability, oxidative resistance, biodegradability, and low volatility. Its unique molecular structure makes it an ideal choice for formulators seeking environmentally responsible, high-performance base fluids and additive carriers. With the increasing focus on sustainability and operational efficiency, TMPTCC is highly valued in lubricant manufacturing, metalworking fluids, and specialty industrial oils. Marketed under Heni Chemicals’ ZONLube-132 brand, we manufacture and globally supply TMPTCC with consistent quality, backed by strong regulatory compliance and dependable logistics.

Safety & Handling Information 

  • Physical Properties: TMPTCC is a clear, pale liquid with a mild ester-like odor and low volatility under normal conditions. 
  • Health Safety: It has low toxicity but may cause mild skin or eye irritation. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling. 
  • Flammability: Combustible at typical flash points for esters—keep away from open flames and hot surfaces. 
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed and protect from moisture and extreme temperatures. 
  • Spills and Disposal: Absorb small spills with inert materials like sand or earth. Dispose of waste in compliance with local and national regulations. Thanks to its biodegradable nature, TMPTCC reduces environmental impact when properly handled.
