Plasticizer Degradation by Marine Bacterial Isolates: A
Traditional phthalic acid ester plasticizers (PAEs), such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate (DEHP), are now increasingly being replaced with more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC).
Synthesis of novel plasticizer ester end-capped oligomeric
The structure of EOL was characterized by using FT-IR, 1 H NMR and time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS). The plasticizing performance of EOLs in PVC was tested and compared with those of commercial environmental plasticizers acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DOTP).
The Influence of Additives and Environment on
The application of ATBC plasticizers in the PHBV matrix caused an increase in biodegradation rate in all environments. However, the highest biodegradation rate was achieved for ternary PHBV biocomposites containing 10 wt. % of ATBC and 10 wt. % of CaCO3.
A highly stable bio-based plasticizer constructed
The plasticizing properties of LLMEE in PVC were tested and compared to the commercial plasticizers acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The results of optical performance showed that, compared to ATBC and DOP, PVC plasticized by 50 phr LLMEE had both high transparency and UV resistance.
Analysis of the most appropriate risk management option (RMOA)
report entitled “Assessment of data availability and test plan for acetyl tributyl citrate” and submitted it to the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to sponsor ATBC in the High Production Volume Challenge Program (US EPA, 2003). - In 2004, an evaluation concerning ATBC used in children’s toys was done
- 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 a phthalate-free plasticizer?
- 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. Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is recognized as a Safe and Biodegradable plasticizer, with fewer biochemical effects.
- Why is tributyl citrate a new non-toxic plasticizer?
- Tributyl citrate (TBC) is a new non-toxic plasticizer, because it has good compatibility, high plasticizing efficiency, non-toxic and less volatile, weather resistance and other characteristics of broad interest, it is used as the preferred alternative green products in place of phthalic dimethyl esters.
- What is ATBC used for?
- Actually, one of the main ATBC application is substitution of Phthalates plasticizers (Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is a Phthalate-FREE, bio based plasticizer). ATBC, CAS: 77-90-7, is a safe, non-toxic plasticizer, biodegradable, mainly used as plasticizer of PVC, cellulose resin and synthetic rubber.
- Why is ATBC a good plasticizer?
- Because of the growing market request for Phthalate-FREE plasticizers and environmental friendly materials, ATBC is the best and more competitive choice in an increasing variety of applications. ATBC is almost colourless and odourless oily liquid, free of foreign materials, insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents.
