Databook of Plasticizers - 2nd Edition
Databook of Plasticizers, Second Edition, contains data on the most important plasticizers in use today, including over 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The data comes from a range of sources beyond plasticizers' manufacturers, allowing for a detailed comparison of properties between different plasticizers.
Comment on “Alternative Plasticizers As Emerging Global
In the case of the alternatives that are the most important commercially, including di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DOTP or DEHT), diisononyl cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCH), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), tri-2-ethylhexyl trimellitate (TOTM), and epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), publicly available assessments by government agencies and
Acetyl tributyl citrate, the most widely used phthalate
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.

Citrates - Polymer Additives Selection
Plasticizers > Citrates. When added to polymers, citrate plasticizers offer good performance and excellent flexibility at low temperatures; being less volatile, they also offer good heat and light stability. Catagorised as non phthalates, citrates are ideal to be used in medical device, food packaging applications and pharmaceutical preparations.
- 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).
- 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 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.
