III. Application Fields and Functions
Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) is a citrate plasticizer with mild performance, low volatility, and good compatibility with various polymer materials. It is commonly used in the following industrial and household product systems:
1. Processing of soft plastics
It is suitable for the softening treatment of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl acetate resin (PVAc), and cellulose, and is used in the manufacturing of products such as hoses, films, and cable sheaths.
2. Recipe for food packaging and contact materials
It can be used in the processing formulas of soft materials related to food contact. Specific applications should refer to the compliance requirements of local regulations for the use of additives.
3. Medical packaging materials and disposable products
It is suitable for use in certain soft medical materials and pharmaceutical packaging systems, serving as a flexible adjusting ingredient in formulations. Prior to use, it must comply with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.
4. Children's products and flexible stationery accessories
Suitable for making elastic components such as soft toys, rubber, teething toys, and stationery products, it is widely adopted due to its light odor and stable process.
5. Coating and intermediate for daily chemical formulations
It is used as a flexibility adjusting component or film-forming aid in the formulation design of specific coatings, nail polishes, and daily chemical products.
6. Alternative raw materials for industries restricted by ortho-xylene
ATBC can serve as one of the formulation alternatives to phthalate plasticizers, suitable for industry systems with stringent environmental protection requirements.
