Plasticizing effects of citrate esters on properties of poly
Triethyl citrate (TEC) and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) were used as plasticizer for poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The treated and plasticized PLA at various concentrations were analyzed...
Phthalate alternative may harm brain development and health
Researchers found that the chemical acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) might not be the best replacement. FULL STORY Growing concerns over the potential health effects of exposure to...
Acetyl tributyl citrate, the most widely used phthalate
In particular, acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), an industrial plasticizer widely used in products such as food wrap, vinyl toys, and pharmaceutical excipients, strongly activated human and rat SXR. ATBC increased CYP3A4 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels and enzyme activity in the human intestinal cells but not in human liver cells.
Acetyltributylcitrate
Acetyltributylcitrate is an organic compound that is used as a plasticizer. As such, it is a potential replacement of DEHP and DINP. [1] It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is found in nail polish and other cosmetics. It is prepared by acetylation of tributylcitrate.
CPSC Staff Statement on University of Cincinnati Report
“Toxicity Review for Acetyl Tri-n-butyl Citrate (ATBC)” 1. October 2018 . The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) contracted with the University of Cincinnati to conduct toxicology assessments for six dialkyl o-phthalate (o-DAP) substitutes: acetyl tri-n-butyl citrate (ATBC); bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA); di-2-
- What is acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC)?
- ATBC, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, CAS: 77-90-7, is a plasticizer which can easily substitute those plasticizers to be phased out by the EU by February 2015. Actually, one of the main ATBC application is substitution of Phthalates plasticizers (Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is a Phthalate-FREE, bio based plasticizer).
- Is acetyl tributyl citrate phthalate free?
- Compared with other Phthalate-FREE plasticizers, ATBC is biodegradable, biobased and it is not a kind of hydrogenated phthalate. Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is recognized as a Safe and Biodegradable plasticizer, with fewer biochemical effects.
- What is ATBC plasticizer?
- ATBC improves the flexibility at low temperatures and ultraviolet rays (UV) resistance of resins. ATBC is a plasticizer that reduces the power of deformation and increases plasticity and elasticity. ATBC avoids the discoloration during the sealing process. ATBC is a plasticizer highly biodegradable, and it is a substitute of DEHP and DINP.
- Is ATBC a phthalate-free plasticizer?
- ATBC is almost colourless and odourless oily liquid, free of foreign materials, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents. Compared with benzoates plasticizers, ATBC is perfectly odourless. Compared with other Phthalate-FREE plasticizers, ATBC is biodegradable, biobased and it is not a kind of hydrogenated phthalate.
- What is ATBC resin?
- ATBC is an organic origin mono constituent substance; their solvent power ensures compatibility with all resins improving the dissolution of the blend. ATBC is a plasticizer that has a high boiling point and molecular weight; there is not loss volatility. ATBC is a product with high resistance to light and heat.
- What are the advantages of ATB resin?
- 2. With it’s good performance , it can be used in production of meat and diary packing , PVC medical product and gum and so on ,ATBC make resin good transparency and flexure resistance in low temperature, meantime ATB low volatility and low extraction ,stable while heat-seal and color stable.
