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...
Alternative Plasticizers As Emerging Global Environmental and
Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) has been proposed as an alternative to DBP because DBP causes endocrine disruption in animal models. Following ingestion, DBP is converted to its main metabolite mono-butyl phthalate (MBP) which has been detected in >90% of human follicular fluid samples.
Comment on “Alternative Plasticizers As Emerging Global
Several plasticizers are identified and discussed in the paper. All may be used as plasticizers, but only some are considered alternatives to general purpose ortho-phthalates such as DEHP and DINP, while the others are specialty plasticizers with niche uses.
Phthalate alternative may harm brain development and health
ATBC had emerged as a leading phthalate alternative as companies sought to shift away from phthalates; it is currently used in a variety of materials and products, including food and food...

- What is acetyl trityl citrate?
- INCI denomination: Acetyl tributyl Citrate as film former. ATBC is a monomeric plasticizer therefore is recommended to use it with Plasticizer E (Epoxidized Soybean oil) to stabilize light and heat. ATBC improves the flexibility at low temperatures and ultraviolet rays (UV) resistance of resins.
- 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.
- Why should I use ATBC with plasticizer E (epoxidized soybean oil)?
- Also, it has high resistance to extraction in the spacious range of dissolvent and high resistance migration, due to their low molecular mobility. ATBC is a monomeric plasticizer therefore is recommended to use it with Plasticizer E (Epoxidized Soybean oil) to stabilize light and heat.
- Is ATBC a food additive?
- ATBC is a plasticizer that has a high boiling point and molecular weight; there is not loss volatility. FDA regulations: 172.515, 175.105, 175.300, 175.320, 178.3910 and 181.27, as indirect food additive. ATBC is a product with high resistance to light and heat.
- 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.
