77-90-7
DESCRIPTION
Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (ATBC) is a versatile, non-toxic plasticizer derived from citric acid. With CAS number 77-90-7, ATBC serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional phthalate plasticizers like DEHP or DINP. This colorless, transparent oily liquid enhances flexibility in polymers without compromising safety, making it ideal for applications in food packaging, medical devices, children's toys, and cosmetics. ATBC is valued for its biodegradability, low toxicity, and compliance with global regulations.

What is Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (ATBC)?
ATBC is a citrate-based plasticizer used to increase flexibility in polymers like PVC. It's a safe, non-phthalate alternative derived from renewable citric acid sources.
Is ATBC safe for food contact applications?
Yes, ATBC is FDA-approved for indirect food additives and meets EU regulations for food packaging. It's tasteless and non-migrating, ensuring consumer safety.
How does ATBC compare to phthalate plasticizers?
ATBC is biodegradable and non-toxic, unlike phthalates which can leach and pose health risks. It offers similar performance with better environmental compliance and no endocrine disruption concerns.
What are the environmental benefits of ATBC?
As a bio-based, readily biodegradable material, ATBC reduces plastic waste persistence in landfills and oceans. It's a sustainable choice for eco-conscious manufacturers.
