Effective role of eco-friendly acetyl tributyl citrate in large-scale
Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) is widely recognized as an eco-friendly, non-petroleum-based, and biodegradable plasticizer that has been widely used in biomedical and biodegradable materials and food packaging films (Bae et al., 2015; Fang et al., 2018; Rp et al., 2016).
Study on the preferential distribution of acetyl tributyl citrate
Similarly, significant works have also been done on adding the citrate derivatives (such as tributyl citrate (TBC), acetyl triethyl citrate (TEC) and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC)) as plasticisers to PLA systems [[18], [19], [20]]. In particular, TBC and ATBC interact well with PLA improving its crystallisation rate and ductility [20].
Preparation and evaluation of acetylated mixture of citrate ester
TBC, ATBC, triisooctyl citrate (TOC) and acetyl triisooctyl citrate (ATOC) have been used in soft PVCs for more than half a century, and their toxicity is well studied [ 22, 23 ]. The results have indicated that citrates are safe plasticizers without reproductive toxicity.
Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, the Most Widely Used Phthalate Substitute
We then focused on acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) (CAS no. 77-90-7; empirical formula, C 20 H 34 O 8; MW, 402.5; Fig. 1), which showed the strongest effect on SXR-mediated transcription. The response to ATBC in various species was evaluated by a reporter assay, and tissue-specific ATBC effects were assessed in liver and intestinal cells.
Analysis of the most appropriate risk management option (RMOA) - Europa
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).
- 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.
- 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 is ATBC soluble in?
- Description: ATBC is almost colourless and odourless oily liquid. Insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents and is miscible and compatible with monomeric plasticizers. ATBC has low volatility and good compatibility with resins, such as Polyvinylchloride, Polyvinylidene Chloride, Polyvinyl Acetate and Polyacrylate.
- 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.
- What are the advantages of ATBC lubricant?
- 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. 3. ATBC can make lubricant better lubricating property NO.
