Key Applications & End-Use Segments
Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TMPTO) is the preferred choice where high thermal stability, excellent lubricity, and eco-friendly biodegradability are required. Typical end-use segments include:
1. Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids (HFDU)
Our TMPTO 46 and 68 are the gold standard for ISO 46 and ISO 68 hydraulic oils. Used in steel mills, mining, and die-casting, these esters provide a high flash point (>300°C) to prevent industrial fires while maintaining superior wear protection.
2. Metalworking & Rolling Oils
TMPTO 68 is engineered for high-pressure environments. It is a critical additive in steel and aluminum cold-rolling fluids, offering a polar film that reduces friction, prevents welding, and improves the final surface finish.
3. Eco-Friendly Lubricants & Greases
For Total Loss Lubrication (TLL) applications in forestry, marine, and agriculture, our biodegradable TMPTO grades ensure that environmental leakage is naturally processed without soil or water toxicity.
4. High-End Cosmetics & Personal Care
TMPTO 38 serves as a premium emollient. Its unique skin-compatibility and "non-greasy" feel make it an ideal vegetable-based replacement for mineral oils in luxury creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
5. Specialized 68-LS (Low Smoke / Low Saponification)
The NavXport 68-LS grade is refined for maximum oxidative stability and low volatility. It is the preferred choice for high-temperature chain oils and turbine lubricants where preventing carbon deposits and smoke is vital.

What is Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TMPTO) (grades 38, 46, 68 & 68-LS)?
Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TMPTO) is a high-performance synthetic polyol ester. It is a clear, oily liquid known for its excellent lubricity, high viscosity index, and superior thermal stability. The grades (38, 46, 68) refer to their kinematic viscosity at 40°C, while 68-LS is a "Low Smoke" variant refined for high-heat environments.
What are the shipping and hazard details for TMPTO?
Unlike volatile solvents, TMPTO is non-hazardous and non-regulated for transport. It has a high flash point (>300°C), making it safe for bulk shipping in ISO tanks, flexibags, or standard drums without the need for dangerous goods (DG) protocols. Typical HS codes include 38249999 or 29159090.
Which industries commonly use Trimethylolpropane Trioleate (TMPTO)?
TMPTO is primarily used by manufacturers of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids (HFDU), metalworking fluids (rolling and cutting oils), biodegradable greases for marine/forestry, and as a botanical-based emollient in the luxury personal care and cosmetic industry.
