Evaluated Alternative Non-phthalate plasticiser for multiple applications Tributyl Citrate (TBC) is an excellent replacement for phthalates and adipates as it has a matching plasticiser performance. It is commonly used in cosmetics, food contact films, and articles of plastic and it is a fast-fusing plasticiser for technical applications. It has excellent compatibility with PVC, making it a well-suited and recommended plasticiser for artificial leathers, textile coatings, floorings, and many other common commercial and industrial applications.
Evaluated Alternative Non-phthalate plasticiser for sensitive applications 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.
