Efficient two-step production of biobased plasticizers: Dehydration
The use of citric acid based plasticizers is well known in PVC. However, citrate esters tend to leach out of the PVC material over time. This problem is currently tackled by acetylating the tertiary hydroxyl group of CA via complex and environment polluting processes.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887
Citrate plasticizers offer biobased plasticizer solution for polymers
CITROFOL BII is a fully degradable citrate ester and is suitable for standard plastic products as well as for biobased plastics. This versatile, first-rate plasticizer is certified by the DIN CERTCO institute according to the US standard ASTM D 6400 as well as the European compostable additives standard DIN EN 13432.
- What is a citrate plasticizer?
- Citrate plasticizers are made of citrates which are esters of citric acid. They can be found in oily liquid form and they are practically colourless and odourless. They are used in paints, coatings and inks but also in food packaging products, cling wrap, toys and medical applications.
- Does citrofol ® BII perform as a plasticiser for PHA/PLA blends?
- Jungbunzlauer, a leading producer of biodegradable ingredients of natural origin, has researched how CITROFOL ® BII performs as a plasticiser for PHA/PLA blends in mulch films. The efficiency of this bio-based citrate ester was evaluated in terms of thermal, mechanical, processing, migration and disintegration properties.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- Is citric acid a biobased plasticizer?
- In this article, we have extensively evaluated a citric acid derivative, CITREM-LR10, not fully esterified and typically used as food emulsifier additive, as new biobased and safer plasticizer for bioplastics such as PLA and Ecovio®. CITREM-LR10 was compared with SOFT-NSAFE, a biobased compound derived from acetic acid.
- Which materials can be plasticized with citrates?
- Some properties of materials plasticized with citrates can match those plasticized with DOP but the cost of their production is substantially higher. Tri Butyl Citrate is a high boiling substance, is used as a solvent and plasticizer for polymers especially for PVC and its copolymers which are subsequently applied to food wrapping film.
- Are citrate esters biodegradable?
- Citrate esters are biodegradable with an excellent toxicological and eco-toxicological profile, versatile and highly compatible with numerous polymers and other plasticisers. They are particularly characterised by highly efficient solvation, low-migration and non-VOC options allow them to be used according to technical requirements.
