In formula it is not chosen to add an olfactory note, but to manage the solubility, fluidity and evaporation rate of certain materials and of the composition as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works in formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTEC can be used to prepare working solutions, concentrates, bases and non-aqueous systems. Compared with ethanol it evaporates much more slowly, so it can soften an opening that feels too abrupt and make evaporation more progressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is particularly useful when a low-odor, low-volatility carrier is needed, or when working with certain crystalline, viscous or otherwise difficult-to-dose materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTEC or DPG?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDPG has a more typically glycol-like character and is often practical as a laboratory solvent for working solutions and functional perfumery. TEC is generally chosen when a low-odor, low-volatility carrier is desired for concentrates, roll-ons and non-aqueous systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTEC or BENZYL BENZOATE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBENZYL BENZOATE offers useful solvent capacity for a number of heavy and resinous materials, but it is also a true component of the formula with its own olfactory and regulatory profile. TEC is perceived mainly as a more neutral technical support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTo consider\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTEC is not a universal solubilizer and does not guarantee transparency in aqueous systems containing essential oils, absolutes, resins or bases. At high levels it can slow evaporation and reduce the brightness of a composition, so it should always be evaluated in the complete formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhysicochemical parameters, CAS, storage conditions and safety information are provided in the Technical Data section and SDS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is packed to order; the container may vary depending on the size selected and the characteristics of the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Profumiera di Venezia by Irina Vaganova","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":53887514575175,"sku":"tec-50g","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":53887514607943,"sku":"tec-100g","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":53887514640711,"sku":"tec-500g","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":53887514673479,"sku":"tec-1kg","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/9397\/5111\/files\/TEC.png?v=1778411577","url":"https:\/\/profumieradivenezia.com\/en\/products\/tec-triethyl-citrate","provider":"La Profumiera di Venezia by Irina Vaganova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
