What is Tributyl Citrate (TBC)?
Tributyl Citrate or Tributyl Ester is a colourless, transparent, oily liquid that is used as an eco-friendly plasticizer. It is a common solvent and plasticizer for polymers like PVC and co-polymers used in food packaging, food contact materials, food additives, and others. TBC is non-toxic with excellent compatibility, high plasticizing efficiency, and less volatile, making it a preferred sustainable alternative green product for phthalic dimethyl esters.
Is Tributyl Citrate (TBC) soluble in water?
TBC is miscible in acetone, ethanol, and vegetables, but it is practically insoluble in water.
What are the main uses of Tributyl Citrate?
TBC is safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable, primarily used as a plasticizer for PVC, synthetic rubber, toys, food packaging material, cosmetics, and fixative of inks, pharmaceutical products, and coating, as well as the synthesis of Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, found in nail polish and other cosmetics.
How is Tributyl Citrate manufactured?
The Tributyl Citrate manufacturers in India, produce TBC through the esterification of citric acid with 1-butanol and concentrated sulfuric acid serving as a catalyst.
How should Tributyl Citrate be stored?
TBC needs to be stored in well-closed containers in a cool and dry place with temperatures not more than 38 degrees Celsius.
