Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, the Most Widely Used Phthalate Substitute
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.
A review of common non-ortho-phthalate plasticizers for use in food
In addition to the ortho-phthalates DEHP, DINP, and DIDP, several other plasticizers were found in the FDA testing, including acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), di-2-ethylhexyl adipate (DEHA or DOA), diisononyl adipate (DINA), epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHT or DOTP), and diisononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate
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...
Selection of Plasticizers for Coating Formulations
Acetyl Tri-Butyl Citrate (ATBC) ATBC is considered as a safe, low toxicity, alternative plasticizer demonstrating improved biodegradability and biochemical properties , as compared to phthalates. ATBC is widely used now for NC coatings as well as NC food packaging inks & packaging of medical products.
Acetyl tributyl citrate, the most widely used phthalate substitute
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.

- 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
