Non-phthalate plasticiser for sensitive applications
Evaluated Alternative
Summary
Plasticisers are used to soften plastic and the most well-known plasticisers are phthalates. There are concerns regarding the toxicity of some phthalates and therefore, choosing a non-phthalate plasticiser might be a safer alternative. Acetyl Triethyl Citrate (ATBC) is a non-phthalate plasticiser for sensitive applications. ATBC does not pose any toxicological, ecotoxicological or environmental concerns. It is a well-suited and recommended plasticiser not only for medical devices, toys, food packaging, and personal care, but also for technical applications such as artificial leathers, textile coatings, floorings, and automotive engineering.
