Basic Info

Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (commonly abbreviated as ATBC, CAS: 77-90-7) is a premium, citric acid-based plasticizer engineered as a direct replacement for traditional phthalate additives like DEHP and DINP. Manufactured via the controlled esterification of natural citric acid with n-butanol followed by precise acetylation, ATBC provides exceptional flexibility, heat resistance, and low-temperature performance in polymer matrices.
 
As global regulations (such as EU REACH and RoHS) increasingly restrict orthophthalates, industrial compounders rely on Acetyl Tributyl Citrate for applications requiring minimal migration, low volatility, and excellent compatibility with resin systems including Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Nitrocellulose, Ethyl Cellulose, and biodegradable polymers like Polylactic Acid (PLA).

Sourcing raw materials for regulated end-use products requires verifiable documentation. Our manufacturing processes for Acetyl Tributyl Citrate align with stringent global standards to safeguard your supply chain compliance:

  • ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems: Ensures consistent batch-to-batch chemical purity and rigorous process control.

  • REACH Registration (EU): Full compliance for legal distribution and compounding throughout the European Economic Area.

  • Phthalate-Free Verification: Certified free from orthophthalate contaminants, meeting CPSIA, California Proposition 65, and RoHS directives.

  • Food Contact Compatibility Frameworks: Formulated to meet parameters under FDA 21 CFR regulations for indirect food additives (plastics packaging, wraps, and closures) and EU Regulation (EU) No 10/2011.

To eliminate process variations and protect down-stream mechanical properties, every lot of ATBC undergoes strict analytical verification prior to warehouse release:

  • Gas Chromatography (GC) Profiling: Assesses purity thresholds (≥99.0%) and verifies the absence of residual unreacted acetic anhydride or raw alcohol fractions.

  • Refractive Index & Density Calibration: Verifies exact chemical composition and eliminates risks of accidental cross-contamination during bulk transfer.

  • Color Stability & Thermal Degradation Test: Samples are subjected to thermal aging at elevated temperatures (180°C for 2 hours) to ensure the liquid maintains clarity without yellowing during extrusion or molding processes.

  • Moisture & Hydrolysis Control: Karl Fischer titration maintains water content below 0.1%, preventing premature degradation in water-sensitive biopolymer formulations.

Product Packaging

Acetyl Tributyl Citrate serves diverse sector requirements where safety and performance must coexist:

  • Food-Contact Packaging & Cling Films: ATBC provides superior plasticizing efficiency in PVC meat packaging films, foil coatings, and paperboard barriers. Its low migration rate ensures packaging flexibility without compromising food safety integrity.

  • Medical Devices & Healthcare Products: As a viable alternative to DEHP, ATBC is used in medical-grade PVC tubing, blood storage bags, intravenous catheters, and breathing masks, maintaining flexibility even under refrigerated conditions.

  • Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations: In the cosmetic industry, ATBC functions as a safe film-forming plasticizer in solvent-based nail lacquers and hair sprays. It provides gloss retention, chip resistance, and flexible adhesion to natural nail surfaces.

  • Children’s Toys & Eco-Friendly Bioplastics: Suitable for slush-molded vinyl toys, soft foam products, and molded goods. Furthermore, ATBC works as an effective processing aid for bio-based resins like PLA and PHA, enhancing impact strength without hindering compostability profiles.

FAQ

 
A1: ATBC provides comparable plasticizing efficiency and mechanical flexibility while completely eliminating the health and regulatory risks associated with orthophthalates. It also exhibits lower volatility and superior yellowing resistance during heat processing.
A2: Yes. Acetyl Tributyl Citrate is insoluble in water but exhibits excellent solubility in common organic solvents including ethanol, acetone, toluene, and ethyl acetate, making it highly compatible with liquid coatings and lacquers.

A3: Store ATBC in tightly sealed original containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from strong oxidizing agents and direct sunlight. Under standard storage conditions (15°C to 25°C), the product retains a shelf life of 24 months.

A4: We supply ATBC in 200kg steel drums, 1000kg IBC totes, and bulk ISO tanks. Custom palletization and export-compliant labeling are arranged per client specifications.

A5: Free evaluation samples (250ml – 500ml) alongside batch Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for verified procurement and technical teams. Contact our export desk at sales001@sdzschem.com for immediate dispatch.
